Look over MLS sites like REALTOR.com and analyze properties your self to check if they cash flow positive or not.

@Gabriel BenavidezIf you are self-employed (i.e. active self-employment earned income separate from your w-2 income) with no full-time w-2 employees, you can set up a Solo 401k and then rollover your 401k funds once you leave your current job. 

Does anyone know someone who would lend me to purchase a triplex with 20% down if my income as self employed is 65000 -20000 company fees -30000 mileage deduction with a home take pay of $45000/year?

I personally only require a NDA in more cases prior to financials, and that should be sufficient to get financials an LOI is not usually needed.2.

My strategy is to stay in my local area (I know it well and can self manage for now) and acquire 1 STR a year using cash and equity on each new home.My questions---Currently in escrow on a 2nd STR and in the midst of choosing financing.So far, I have a local lender offering a 30y fixed at 6% with 20% down. 

If the property doesn't cashflow as is, that amount needs to be increased to cover operations and debt until the property becomes self reliant. 

Looking to BRRRR in Birmingham out of a Self-Directed IRA (Non-Recourse Loans). 

A lot of forum members are very knowledgeable in their respective fields related to real estate investing, whether that is real estate sales, wholesaling, flipping, rentals, lending, self-directed IRA and Solo 401k investing, or tax and legal guidance.If you haven’t been to it already, you might want to check out the BP blog: https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/The site has quite a few tools that can be helpful for new members.

You should include, even if you'll self-manage in the beginning.Your interest rate is a little low.

For someone who self-manages, he/she should be doing all the showings, handling the money, and negotiating the lease.
