Hi Don, I don't believe there's enough information to go off of to give you a perfectly tailored response.

Refinance subject property with higher leverage loan and use proceeds to pay distributionsAnd of course there's the time tested technique of just fabricating results!

I'm using the leverage technique as I work a full time job and can't buy anything outright.

See Nobel prize winner and associate  quote....Gunner Myrdal, an architect of Sweden’s welfare state who was given the Nobel Prize in economics as the left-wing balance to his co-winner FA Hayek:  Myrdal stated, “Rent control has in certain Western countries constituted, maybe, the worst example of poor planning by governments lacking courage and vision.”3 His fellow Swedish economist (and socialist) Assar Lindbeck asserted, “In many cases rent control appears to be the most efficient technique presently known to destroy a city—except for bombing.”Seattle is a prime example.

It's a great technique, just be sur eyou are taught how to handle all aspects of it.

@Thomas Rutkowski, You also state "...And because of the fact that it is done through a qualified intermediary, the depreciation recapture is deferred for the same reason that it is in a 1031 exchange.Readers should take note that the California Franchise Tax Board has issued negative guidance regarding using the Deferred Sales Trust, Monetized Installment Sale or other installment sales techniques to "save" a failed 1031 Exchange. 

The mass valuation techniques used by assessors are not very reliable. 

I am just starting out wholesaling in the DFW market as was getting hung up on what formula is being used in this market from fix and flippers.I was making cash offers, but was wondering if there is a formula y'all are using more tailored to this market.

Additionally, could anyone recommend the best platform for listing STR and MTR properties tailored to traveling nurses in the Birmingham area?

This is still a very tricky area for lenders as there are not many "industry-standard" tried and true rules - many DSCR Lenders and buyers of these loans are still wary of the SRO model - that being said, it is a lot easier and more flexible to underwrite on an acquisition if you are buying and the property could be utilized as a LTR / MTR or STR as that allows for a more tailored projection (as long as the property doesn't have unique or altered characteristics that would require it to be a SRO / MTR)
