Full transparency...I am biased as my dad and brother are wealth managers and provide advise on DSTs.You want to work with a RIA that can help you understand how DSTs fits into your overall financial picture and not someone that's just looking to make a commission off of you (aka  Broker-Dealer).Both BDs and RIAs are going to able to offer access to the same DSTs, but there are several conflicts of interest associated with the BD sales model....

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).

Since you're based in Frisco and looking for meetups in Collin County, Id recommend checking out Texas REIAs... the largest real estate investment association in Texas.

Join your local Real Estate Investors Association (REIA).

Hi @Jason BoringI would recommend joining your local real estate investor association as well.

The aim is to expose businesses attempting to conceal illicit gains, thereby identifying those involved in criminal activities.As for a Home Owner Association (HOA), whether it needs to comply depends on its legal structure and tax status.Most HOAs need not file, except 501(c)(4), which probably need to comply.Who is Exempt?

I did all land survey, architecture, engineering, and razing of the property.

I would suggest looking into local groups as well, there are Real Estate Investor Associations in nearly every metro in the US, so I would join one if you can.

If you associate his name with an article and its on a reputable website (news) or even just their social media, it's a quick google search for his name by a PM, landlord or interested LP to throw up red flags.

My idea is to offer my skills, such as social media management, painting, or assisting with various menial tasks, in exchange for the opportunity to learn the trade.
