If you're looking for ways to accelerate, consider these options:Seller Financing – Some sellers may finance a portion of the purchase price, reducing your need for a large down payment.DSCR Loans – These loans focus on property cash flow rather than personal income, often requiring only 15% down.Private Money Lenders – If you can find a PML willing to work with you, you may be able to put less down.Partnerships – If you’re open to splitting profits, you could bring in a partner who funds the down payment.Since you’re okay with the slower path, just keep stacking cash, but these might be worth exploring to move faster!

This is generally correct, DSCR loans do not look at all at your personal income.  

In my voicemail, it states if they are interested, to "press 1 to speak with a live person" or "press 2 to be added to our do not call list".

I ask because if you did refi into a  DSCR loan you would be signing all kinds of business purpose disclosures with being an affidavit that you would never occupy the property as a personal residence.  

You can establish a personal LLC and use it to buy a business.

Being in Dallas gives you the advantage of doing your due diligence in person, which is invaluable.

If @Drew Sygit doesn't have a local person for you, I have CFO clients in KC, MO that have used this firm: https://propertyvaluationservices.net/services/protest-taxes...

I personally want to learn from those with experience.

Personally, it's marginal at best for a house hack.

As a person who has lived in NC & SC and Phoenix, I would highly suggest AZ.
