That's why I personally allow 10 properties or 1M.

Am I allowed to ask for a tenants vehicle information to add to their file?

For example, some DSCR products allow STR income while others don't.

@Baahir Starkey the easy days of low rates allowing a beginning investor to pick a property on the MLS and have it cashflow are over for now.Now, investors have to do lot of research and pursue motivated sellers, willing to take less than their property is worth. 

For instance, yesterday, weak economic data in Europe put downward pressure on rates globally and perceived dovish comments from Federal Reserve speakers allowed bonds to hold the gains.

There are solutions to allow you to get up to 85% LTV cash out on this type of property.

I can share numbers in a different post.Determining whether it is legal to convert the garage into a living space.I contacted the city planner to determine whether the construction was allowed.

I think there is greater value in more doors though, so findings something like a 2-4 unit property, where you will live in one unit and rent out the remaining units likely would allow you to live cheaper as their is more opportunity to increase cash flow.

I’ve sort of been doing one or two deals at a time here and I’m trying to scale up to multiple deals at once so finding a lender that will help me by allowing me keep more of my cash on hand would be a great way for me to scale forward. 

I like Kevin's Idea, I would like into Relay for this. you can have around 20 Checking accounts and 2 Savings accounts, they allow you to pay with checks that they said and ACH Payments, both free, and it connects to QBO with ease.They also allow you to have multiple EINs(LLCs) under one log in. you might have to make transfer, but having a Bookkeeper who is on board with your structure would allow you to not have to focus on that part as much.This sounds like an idea I may use for future clients I would have.Good Question!
