Lots and lots of factors to consider, not just 2-3. 

What are some companies you've worked with, pros/cons of their business and amount in fees they charge?

Hi @Tony NguyenThis is true but also is going to have a a few contributing factors, such as the type of rental and how much you are engaged in running the property.It sounds like your research is specific to LTR properties which do have a cap.

Income not keeping pace with housing prices will be a huge factor for multi-generational house holds & house hacking. 

I'm perfectly willing to pay for my MLS access, but I don't want to pay the high membership fees for KCRAR.Can anybody shed some light on this process? 

I've read a little bit about different factors to consider, but I honestly haven't started looking into it yet.

I have been looking at factors that affect where I would like to live (weather, politics, taxes, night life, etc.) but I am guessing that these don't necessarily indicate a good financial investment.

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC.

In my market, tax lien buyers make the majority of their money on interest rates / penalty fees they receive when someone redeems. 

I'm considering just killing the furnished finder account due to the $149 annual fee.
