Material delays because of COVID backups.

DSCR lenders are busier than they've ever been because the rates and programs still allow for great cash flow, the loans close with minimal effort and there is more uniformity in this sector of the mortgage business.4.

There may just be a slight delay as wages/rents reach new and higher equilibriums.#2 - REI is pretty easy, but you still need a niche (not including blind luck) to find homerun deals. 

To gain value and minimize my down side, I want to use my investment to purchase a property to leverage the income to reinvest in additional properties.

Pulling out cash flow in the beginning will only slow down your growth and delay goal attainment.

From an investor's perspective, I feel like there could be some instances where an earthquake policy could still make sense on a rental property--even if one had minimal equity.Let's say you have a rental house in SLC that you owe 400k on (and the house is only worth 415k, so you have minimal equity).

Construction times, delays, permitting etc. will all affect how long it will be until you can start making money especially if you are making monthly loan payments.

Restrictions are minimal from Pcb - Destin, and I'd like to think they stay that way due to our market being dependent on tourists.

With property management already figured into your deal, the amount of time you should spend managing this property should be minimal, freeing you up for your job or looking for more deals.Throwing more money at a deal doesn't make it a better deal. 

It was definitely challenging during the pandemic with price increases/long delays for materials but the hot housing market sure made it all worth it.
