Personally I wouldn't use Zillow, I can only imagine they want to introduce a future fee for the service.

I had called Audible and ASKED if the CD was available...which means I want the info ON THE CD...and the person I spoke to just said the CD was not available with the audio version...so why not tell me that the information is available ON THE AUDIBLE WEBSITE?

I'd really prefer to hear from those that have gone through a similar process as me and get recommendations for lenders to look into?

Personally, I believe there are much better ways to invest in RE, even with limited knowledge or bandwidth. 

They don’t have an office but a single person who answered.

Or even riskier: a commercial balloon loan with a high interest rate and a personal guarantee that is due IN FULL after 5 years!

A DSCR loan is one vehicle for buying your next property but is not that the preferred route if you have a W-2 job (like your profile says).

You are not the first person to bring this up.

It seems like a rural setting is about the only place a person could place one. 

How do I track my material hours on my investment property in order to take depreciated losses against my W2 income.What is the best way to track my hours to make sure I get to 100 hours and more then anyone other person involved in the STR?
