But be mindful of the debt service requirements and ensure your rental income is sufficient to cover the loan payments.It’s definitely possible to scale up with DSCR loans—many investors use them to build large rental portfolios.

The NAR settlement was ridiculous and has only forced agents to do more paperwork and disclosures, but the vast majority of us are still working the same way.The law requires the agent to sign an agreement with you.

@Nik Verret Airbnb and VRBO should be sufficient as you start off.

Key Questions to Ask YourselfProperty Cash Flow: Will the property generate sufficient cash flow to cover the monthly payments, taxes, insurance, and other expenses?

Focus on fundamentals: buy below market value, have strong cash flow (or a clear path to creating it), and maintain sufficient reserves to weather any unexpected challenges.If you’re strategic and stay patient, this market could create opportunities that lay the groundwork for long-term success.

I know it most likely is not as good as Propstream but is the data sufficient enough? 

Even if I were to rent it out on Airbnb, the cash-on-cash return isn't very attractive.Specifically, I’m concerned about:High mortgage payments and the financial strain it could cause if the property doesn't generate sufficient cash flow.Cash-on-cash return is low, even with high-revenue short-term rentals.My Questions:Risk Mitigation:Any strategies I can use to mitigate the risks associated with owning a high-value property with a large mortgage?

Do you have an idea of the long-term rental amount, and would that be sufficient to meet the DSCR ratio needed to qualify for the loan?

@Andy Mirza I agree that there will be vast opportunities for distressed debt in the post-Covid environment, but we won't see those assets probably for another 9 months or more.

As far s your questions goes,  I have had properties that were negative, and I sold them before they ate me up, but the vast majority were all newt positive CF.
