If investment is a major part of your plan, ask each about their expectations and support for investment-focused agents.

I am not a lender, but I would not expect you to qualify for a mortgage on a SFH that you would not be able to afford.

That said, they may come out for an inspection at some later point in the future.

This comment is very true, I expected to close already but I'm doing a major rehab, and their communication of their requirements has been poor and resulted in a lot of unnecessary delays.

The earlier you start in your RE journey, the better off you will be in the future.

Generally, losses from your rental properties can only offset other passive income, and if your passive losses exceed your passive income, you carry forward the excess losses to future tax years.

Meaning what would you expect to net?

From everything I've seen/analyzed, I don't expect the market to slow down much.
