His teachings suggest a paid off home, $500k in assets, and more than 1 source of income (SS if of that age, real estate, part time job, retirement/pension, etc.).

Hi @Hassan Oukacha - Being from Texas you would need to either get your real estate license or use an online service like Inestway.com or Propelio.com - both are brokerage websites that offer true MLS sold comps for you.Full disclosure I am the co-founder of Propelio.com, but there are other sources like investway that I mentioned.

I'm looking for solid answers on this or may be a good source to look for this bit.

The key is to have a trusted GC and property source.

Yup for most of the Usonians the loads of wood used is cost prohibitive now and hard to source.However, I thought about this one as an example of a build with simple materials (steel and concrete block) that are not in themselves expensive to source that can achieve a beautoful design (with great effort of course by designer and builder) at low cost and scale.

Or maybe they’re actually not doing as great and they need these mentorships/boot camps as their source of income.

Peer to peer file sharing, tax free online purchases, open source software and all the other technologies to change world.

For example, an agent would collect a reduced commission, flat transaction fee, or no commission if the buyer sources an off-market deal directly.In your case, if you'd like to compensate your agent, you can include it in the loan.

You can also go straight to the source - Direct DSCR Lenders - don't necessarily need a mortgage broker to shop for you (especially if you are here and asking the right questions and clearly are sophisticated - unless you are SUper-strapped for time, you don't seem like an investor that needs to pay a broker for help - go straight to the lender)3) Last question- i'm seeing rates on DSCR loans in the 7.2% to 7.5% range, in addition to 1 to 2 points and they likely track 10 yr treasuries (4.26% as of today).

I have located sources of possible funding for the deals that I find.
