You can pretty easily find a duplex to house hack in a good neighborhood in the $300,000-$400,000 range.

That's pretty healthy.

Quote from @Carrie Baron: @Sean O'Keefe may I pretty please request a copy of the log book as well?

Ultimately I found that to be pretty disrespectful of my time.

Pretty much think of a commercial loan process as a residential loan process backwards.Lenders do go off the income of the property, but they also do check out the purchaser...3 years tax returns and a personal financial statement. 

In the past I would do Zillow Real Estate agents, and it was always pretty terrible, average real estate agents.

With DSCR, credit and down payment are the major factors (plus the property itself of course) so it is very possible since a lot of the properties in the area cashflow pretty well. 

Pretty much all lenders in business to lend money will charge a service fee to the investors.. and take it out of the gross monthly payments..

@Pamela Rivas is that pretty much cash deals?

Whether you need a CPA with just three rentals depends on the complexity of your situation and your comfort level with DIY tax prep.If things are pretty straightforward, you might be fine with tax software for now.
