Welcome to the site @Alex Wilcox!

Hey @Alex Ferranti, Trust me, you are not struggling; it's just not as easy as it sounds or as gurus portray it online.

Quote from @Alex F.: We have a 4-bedroom home near Disney - the home is well-themed and very close to Disney. 

Quote from @Alex Ferranti: Hello all, I'm new to the renovation game in real estate as I just got out of college.

An even better option is WPC - WP Carey, which is a diversified REIt, they have been aggressively divesting all their office properties and will soon be a principally Retail REIT, but they are still priced low with other Office ones. 

Quote from @Alex U.: Could a long term lease could be written as a series of short term leases (less than 30 days), and thus qualify income from the rental as "Active" and thus allow the tax filer to file as a "real estate professional"?

Hi Alex,It could depend on your experience - if you have a lot of experience in heavy rehab/construction you will (1) be qualified for the loan as construction loans require substantial experience and (2) feel more comfortable taking on the loan.

Quote from @Alex U.: Are you expecting the California government to use taxpayer funds wisely, the same government that spends $42,000 per homeless person?

Quote from @Alex Bekeza: @Richard Goore Well said, even if you have great DTI and could save a few bps w/ Fannie/Freddie, DSCR loans can certainly be the easy button.
