The answer here is with the nature of what we do – we are real estate investors.

I know sometimes they get characterized and grouped together, but this would be very different with the schedule C and active nature of what I'm planning to do.

Confused because DSCR by nature looks at the income the property is generating and not your personal income or credit I believe. 

For some people this comes naturally but everyone can learn it. 

But I am not convinced and think that the world the technocrats want to build is not compatible with human nature and our purpose for being here in the first place. 

So if the landlord only owns one four-plex, or two duplexes, or a single and triplex, and the landlord is a natural person (not a corporation or partnership), or the landlord is an LLC in which all members are natural persons (no corporate or partnership members in the LLC), the landlord can still require two month’s rent as security deposit.So for those CA investors who invest in properties with four rentals or less, and place each rental property into its own LLC, and the LLC members are all natural persons, those investors can continue to require two month’s rent as security deposit.

@Martin NestaI don't have much info for you - but I do know the 'nature of the beast' I can share with you... perhaps something will help...Most property tax "just values" in Florida - the value they say your property is worth - are intentionally set about 15-20% below market value.  

Natural gas is widely used in the area and can be brought to the property for roughly 40k.  

For example with heat, the fuel (electric, oil, natural gas, etc) all cost differently. 

I'm not sure how much of that is going on right now, but I'm sure there are always traveling nurses and doctors coming into this area that need short term housing.A lot, of property management companies will only do a minimum of one year leases, but I think there is good value to be had in the short term rental game, as long as you have a good strategy and a management company that is align with your vision.When I was leasing full-time, I used to get a lot of calls from insurance companies who have clients who's properties have been in a fire or some natural disaster and need short term housing, and they're also willing to pay a lot higher than market rent.
