yes there are DSCR no ratio programs at higher interest rates 30 years fixed. so refi out of the bridge to that if 100% needed.. not recommended as i said unless no other option. get it rented.

If you need recommendations for estate planning attorneys or CPAs in San Diego, let me know.

so you're recommending that my starting point should be finding a real estate agent, utilize theirbknowledge to learn about the process, and get referrals for good loan officers.

build to rent is great. they are an intermediary that help investors contract direct with turn key new build. they are pretty sophisticated we have sold a house so far and we are looking to sell other multifamily with them. there is a vetting process and as an intermediary they don't control construction they help vet builders and establish relationships. they have a big team. the other builder I've never heard of but unless you can see your house I wouldn't touch it. rent to retirement has a strict policy of 90 days until certificate of occupancy until they will send a deal out they are good at what they do and I'd recommend them. they have options all over the country and established relationships.

If anyone in this area has a good recommendation I would greatly appreciate it.

Try a Google search for managers or look for an investors group in the area that can provide personal recommendations.1.

Since you're looking to expand into Florida and other states, I'd recommend starting by narrowing down your focus:Market Research – Florida has great opportunities, but each state and city has different laws, taxes, and demand drivers.

If the home has a really nice layout or beautiful interior and it's not getting many showings, I would definitely recommend a video tour.

I work with a lot of househackers and they're typically on the 12 month cycle, rinse and repeat.While the proposition of acquiring an investment property outside of your market in a "landlord friendly" state may sound appealing, i would recommend you stay local for now and househack another couple of properties over the next few years until you've got some more time / experience under your belt.you would need a management company to cover your property that is outside of your market which would not only take 8-10% of your gross it would also leave you a bit vulnerable to a property management company that you A.)know nothing about and B.)you won't have the experience or cashflow or proximity to deal with any headaches that may arise.i would recommend staying local and househacking your way along for now and then maybe hire a local property management company initially to work with your current/local properties to get a taste of what to expect if and when you begin investing outside of your market.

I wouldn't focus singularly on individual city initiatives/projects and would recommend focusing more on fundamentals.
