I'm a local real estate broker, investor, and manager (100+ rentals, mostly Airbnb/STR and multifamily).House hacking is a tried-and-true method and in Sacramento you can produce some meaningful income while enjoying the appreciation and tax benefits of owning real estate.

. - Established and actively managed AirBnB's will continue to be consistent income producers with a gradual growth in returns. 

Since the last time I was online, I have grown the investing to fix and flipping and a portfolio of 4 properties that are producing passive income.  

If you are using it to buy a turnkey property which needs to produce cash flow to be considered a viable deal how does buying turnkey(Little to no cash flow) combined with HML(High interest only debt) make alot of sense financially? 

A and B neighborhoods typically don’t produce much cash flow and are more of an appreciation play—something the city has been seeing quite a bit of over the past decade.

I did buy a website which was expensive and produced nothing, still trying to decide what to do with that sunk cost.

I found a property in my area that would produce decent cash flow and appreciation; however, I would have to use funds from a HELOC on a different rental property for the down payment.

A $240k loan amount on a $249k purchase price seems crazy and I'd never expect to produce any net positive cash flow doing this.How are you calculating your property taxes?

On finding an agent, you make a completely valid point about the top producing agents.

Be sure to check with your lender to confirm their specific criteria regarding the property's condition.In short, fixer-uppers can qualify for DSCR loans, but the property either needs to be producing rental income or have a plan to do so after renovations.
