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.

I'm all about having strong opinionated people and surrounding yourself with those who are smarter than yourself and who are not afraid to tell you the truth.I would like to obtain and move into a 3rd property(townhome) in a nice neighborhood.

I would rent out by the room based on overall square footage of each room.

Based on what you wrote, it seems like the washer is hers in which case her insurance should cover it.

@Gabriella NataldieTo make a strong financial future, think about getting more cash through side jobs or freelance work, cut down costs by making a budget, and use your saved money smartly.

But, it could certainly vary based on how your CPA filed your taxes.

Also, if you're investing in multiple states, just make sure your professional understands what is necessary for filing based on that situation. 

Once you feel you've built a strong team with your first property and have solid systems in place, I would start buying more aggressively and taking on bigger projects.
