A good investor-agent is worth their weight in gold because of market expertise, connections, and knowing how to get deals done, not because they’re your personal deal-finder.The best deals don’t come from sitting back and waiting for an agent to serve them up to you.

@Shannon Leckinger  I would not buy a condo, and I would not buy in an HOA unless you just want a place at the beach for personal use.

I personally believe that a better way to jump into mid term rentals is to take a course on buidling a property management company or cohosting business where you bring your skillset to the table without the intial investment into all the furniture and leases.

Hi Duarte,What makes DSCR loan fascinating is that it does not verify personal income.

Is 10-15 miles too big of an area when determining the unit count per person?

I appreciate any feedback.Regarding Insurance, personally I would never have someone else (A Lawyer) handle the insurance on a Sub 2 deal or any other real estate deal for me, you would be setting yourself up for failure.First of all now you would need to get a POA for the attorney from the seller, that may not be your best move.

Like @Vince Scipione said, good for you for being a decent person!

However, aside from that, I couldn’t find much information about them, and the only online presence seems to be the wife’s LinkedIn profile (though I’ve never met her in person and am just going off her profile picture on Zillow).After submitting the application through Zillow, we attached our income (two months of pay stubs for each of us from our current jobs), work references, credit and criminal background, rental history, and the contact info for our current landlord (who just so happens to be my fiancé’s father).

Hey Makani, you should check out DSCR loans, which are primarily for investment properties and focus on the property’s income potential rather than your personal income.

Hey Aishan, I personally own 12-doors in Detroit and I live in California.
