Instead, roll the funds into an IRA or Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA) to keep them tax-deferred and open up flexible investment options, including real estate.

lima one does spec loansbuilders capital.they mainly rely on experince they want to see you have done 2 or 3 in the last few years.. 

However, if you sell instead of rebuilding, the IRS may include part of the payout in your taxable gain unless reinvested under the §1033 involuntary conversion rules, which allow you to defer taxes by purchasing a similar property within two years.If the property was your primary residence, you may exclude up to $250K (single) or $500K (married) of gains if you lived there for at least 2 of the last 5 years, likely resulting in no taxes owed.

Plus they will now have to make FULL disclosures to both buyer and sellers and there will be a full 3 day right of rescission. the main reason wholesalers dont get licensed is so they dont have to follow the rules like a licensed agents.. in other words they have Zero fiduciary duty to the seller or buyer.. 

However, I noticed that as a Costco member, they also offer HVAC services, including the same product line (Lennox), along with a 10% Costco Shop Card if you go through them.Has anyone here used Costco for their HVAC needs?

Local references are invaluable because those lenders have proven themselves in your market.Work with Reputable Companies: Some well-known DSCR lenders with a solid reputation include Lima One Capital, LendingOne, Kiavi, RCN Capital, Visio Lending, and Easy Street Capital.

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).

@Brandon Stelling As a military veteran with 100% VA disability benefits, you can leverage VA home loans to purchase properties with no down payment, no PMI, and favorable terms, including multi-family properties for house hacking. 

While I don't want to focus on doing this as my main source of income (I still mainly want to do fix & flips and contract assignments), I wouldn't mind trying it, just to see if it's something that could work for me.
