Our intention would be to roll the money from that sale directly into our second-home property.

Try looking into zillow/Redfin and see what your potential rents you can get near the neighborhood by filtering the bedrooms/bathrooms of the intentional property that you are planning to buy.

I only have 6 rental properties with little intention of buying anything else within the next 3 years.

As Michael said, it depends on if you got to the level of a trade or business when it comes to lending.Some important things that will determine this are1) The amount of loans you are originating on an annual basis2) What your intent is when forming this partnership3) The value of the loans you are originating compared4) etcBest of luck

I live in the SF Bay Area and have decided to buy my first single-family home.I fully acknowledge and recognize that the SF Bay Area and California (in general) may have some of the worst cash flow numbers in the entire country.I've already traveled to cheaper Midwestern states to look at real estate opportunities, but have decided to invest here in the SF Bay Area as I'm purchasing with the intention of living in it first and foremost, and then renting it out sometime in the near future when I move overseas.I'm looking for anywhere in the Greater Bay Area/Northern California region (even Sacramento & Central Valley is okay) with better than average purchase price to rent ratio, and some appreciation (if possible). 

The same has now occurred with the Team Lead who has shared that my Realtor lacked experience and may’ve had ill intentions of getting greedy with deals that they started to cut the Team Lead out completely.CURRENT STATEThe Team Lead has asked me to sign a new contract.

It typically takes 4 to 6 months to produce on a part-time basis and my intention is that it will be of value to those in the industry, including me and a prospective mentor.

We have a 14-page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

I definitely could have worded the question better and have no intention of ever discriminating  against anyone.
