The next one is more pricy but we plan on staying in it 7 to 10 years until we buy our dream land to build. 

Curious exactly how does DTI come into play when buying a non owner occupied investment property with conventional mortgages.

Would love to help if you're looking to buy here! 

If you want to scale up and buy more faster putting less down is the best plan.

We have been contemplating our strategy to start our business by having my sister buy her first home locally here in Connecticut, a duplex as her primary residence and live in one unit with our mother, while renting out the other unit to a resident, and be able to also rent out her single-family house as a short term/midterm rental to traveling nursers/working professionals on furnish finder.

Finding lenders and mortgage brokers that specialize in DSCR loans will help with getting better terms as they have investors comfortably buying these loans after the loans fund which helps replenish the lenders cash for more loans to investors.

Quote from @Hunter Gibson: Hi everyone, I am looking to learn more about Pre-Foreclosure/ Foreclosure homes and how to buy them. 

.- overall "damage" is very minor as it will involve cleaning up after her, taking out her trash, and carpet cleaning throughout ($200) to get cat puke out of carpet- odd note was that she has a huge real Christmas tree which she left....who buys a Christmas tree if they intend to leave - confirmed via talking to her mother (emergency contact on my pet agreement) that she has moved to a new rental property- I have not filed the 3 days quit or cute as I'm concerned that the terminology indicates (perhaps I'm reading to far into it)that if she leaves the lease will be terminated.

We have discussed selling the property and rolling it into a multi-family but again feel like we may be trading a fairly hands off property with good cash flow for one that may be a bit more labor intensive and only yield marginally better performance.Any advice on how to expand our rental portfolio/maximize its performance is greatly appreciated!
