I assume you know at this point but in general, the goal is the screen for a very good tenant and keep them there as long as possible.

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

They claim to market on dozens of online channels, and they seem to know the right amenities to feature, have great design, services, experiences etc.

A mix of both can be powerful depending on your goals.

I’m also passionate about graphic design and am seeking opportunities to grow my career in that field while pursuing my real estate goals. 

@John Lasheri agree with you, you'd be surprised at how many people listen to Grant Cardone though, and decide that they're going to go buy a 100 unit with 'OPM' as their first deal and quit their job.i think buying something of that size with a few partners is a perfectly good goal. 

My goal is to wholesale some properties single and multifamily to build some capital while fixing my personal credit and building my business credit.

Our goal for the projects we flip and the projects we design for other investors is to figure out how to get the same look at a fraction of the price. 

My ultimate goal is to become successful with my real estate investments so I don’t have to rely so much on my job and be able to spend more time at home with my soon to be wife and future children.

Once you're ready, create a goal (e.g., "I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2019") and then do it.
