Hi, you seem like a potentially good candidate for DSCR Loans, a loan product that was essentially designed for exactly this - investors that want to build a portfolio relatively quickly and not be slowed down by DTI requirements or other hassles from conventional options.Would be glad to help, also check out this 12-part series published here on BP on everything you would ever want to know on this loan option!

I'll definitely check out Set For Life by Scott Trench and The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey for more financial insights.Watching BiggerPockets podcasts and networking with local investors are great suggestions.

We are in the top 10 fastest growing big cities right now, so families and singles are constantly flying in to check out the area.Raleigh allows short term rentals if you apply for a license.

Check out File Place: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...The link is located in the footer of every page on the left side.

If they live at a single family house, you can try to drive by and check front and backyard also.

Hi Pixel, Check out this article about how DSCR loans play into the refinance part of the BRRRR method.

.- Suggest you try to network with other landlords in your area, check MeetUp app and others.Your other option is to hire an attorney, but understand you will have to pay them for your ignorance.

I do not use a property management service to advertise and have always used Zillow to advertise, previous references, housing records, credit checks etc

I think that is a fair price and that will help me with my breathing room and hopefully help pay off my place faster, or at least so I can reach 20% equity so I can stop paying $110 a month in PMI haha.I'm obviously going to be checking credit score, making sure tenant has a stable income, no criminal background, etc.

You might check with a local attorney on this.In NY where I am, the period is 10 years.
