Plus she works at Wash U and would love to be somewhere closer to the Metro.

I will say that most agents have no idea about investing, so it's almost a wash, but it does not compare to working with someone who "get's it" and can be a mentor to you.

Thank you,Matthew  Not sure about your DTI situation (student loans, car loans, whatever), but a DSCR loan would work well for you.  80% loan to value for a purchase is standard and with no income verification like tax returns or paystubs, you will qualify as long as the property does (rents must wash out the mortgage).Stephanie

The numbers are only going to get you so far.The numbers won't tell you if your GC is going to flake out and disappear three weeks into this rehab, if this dubious person hired a trim carpenter who doesn't know how to cope inside corners, if your flooring guy's going to assure you that of course there's no problem with having vinyl flooring in the kitchen of a home that you intend to sell for over half a million dollars, if you have plans on replacing those Lowes bargain bin flushlights in the kitchen and hall with something else, if your drywall guy will eventually tell you that, sorry, he knows nothing about plaster repair in structures dating from the 1920s, if that ceiling in the living room is popcorn, painted popcorn, asbestos-laden old painted popcorn, or just a knockdown texture finish, why there is a washing machine in the kitchen, and the hits just keep on comin'...Get in the weeds of the rehab analysis, Alon.
