I  Income:  The amount of property you can buy will be dependent on your Debt to Income ratio.  

I wonder would the rental income cover the monthly interest payments on the crypto loan?

Funny how you left out the part about how the top 1 percent's share of income increased far more than their gross tax payments, James.

For example, I see newer investors attempting wholesaling or bird-dogging for other investors to generate additional income to invest.

Then my passive income would solely come from stock investment.2.

Typically 75% of rental income can be applied towards your DTI for qualification. 

Most lenders require a leased property to qualify for a cash-out refinance, especially with a DSCR loan, which is based on rental income.

Six figure income is still impressive for any residential SFR..optimally rates improve and so will rates of return with a refinance.

You do have to keep an eye on your write offs to ensure you are showing a good NOI and not using too many write offs to show enough income to use for bank/lender underwriting on a mortgage/loan.

Even if you own a property in TX, you are conducting business in CA because you live here, collect the income here, etc.
