Montgomery has a great rental market. 1)The last numbers I saw showed 47% of homes here are rentals. 2)That is due to a strong federal job market with federal courthouses, Maxwell and Gunter air force bases. 3)Lots of state jobs, about 10 colleges and universities, tourism, 3 major hospitals, 4)a Hyundai manufacturing plant, and Amazon is building a distribution warehouse.5) Low property taxes.6) Population growth.7) Landlord friendly state.8) We can typically hit the 1% rule on rent to price ratioFrom Wikipedia, Alabama has the second lowest property taxes behind Hawaii.2.

I would like to find a lender who can approve me based on the property and what it will bring in monthly as a rental rather than on my personal finance and credit. 

I have created my own if you would like me to share mine, you can DM me.Once you can get an idea on your return based on the interest rate and down payment scenarios, I think that will help to decide which is the best option.

@Ryan RuncheyThe bookkeeping for this specific property will likely be difficult.This appears to be a househack as you purchased a personal residence but also have roommates to help with the rent.As a result, a portion of the expenses as they relate to the house are personal in nature and non-deductible.Items such as real estate taxes, mortgage interest, etc are all pro-rated.On-top of that you are doing the BRRRR which indicates that there is rehab involved.Portions of a rehab are currently deductible, capitalized or non-deductibleCurrently deductible - payment for an area of the home that is a tenant area.

It's crucial to align this decision with the nature of your income sources and their respective tax treatments.

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

After re-reading Pricelabs' section on their recommended base price not including all the various fees (not just cleaning, but for example, Airbnb's own fees, etc.), I've reformulated the base price to consider all these fees so that it better reflects the total price the guest is paying (independent of taxes).

Made up nice round numbers, and yeah these are extreme just to highlight the concept:MLM tenant: 8% cap is appropriate based on comps, paying $100k/yr. $100k / 8% = $1.25m.Dentist: 7% cap is appropriate based on comps, paying $100k/yr.

Don’t get caught up with just wanting to buy a property and hoping it will work out in the future based on projections.
