Title has to reside with some entity or entites, be they just legal or warm-blooded entities. 

That rent would have easily covered the cost of hiring professionals, the job would be done better, and you would have saved yourself three years of blood, sweat, and tears to focus on your next investment.There is a time for learning and DIY, but you have to be smart about it.

I’m not in your field of expertise in the lending space, but the lenders I have given repeat business to typically have taken a few moments and let me explain my situation to see if we would even be a fit for each other, before, trying to make me fill out some long application that asked for everything short of a blood sample.

Being able to pick up fix and flips and/or buy and holds for a sub $200k price point with plenty of room for value add has been the life blood of the investors here.

I would build as large of a pile of cash as you can and wait until there is blood in the water.

Who's going to bankroll us and stream it?

We have been seeking more a more passive income stream for the last couple years and are planning to unwind (sell) our portfolio of single family rentals.

I was able to use the rental income to pay off the mortgage on the property and generate a steady stream of passive income each month.

Additionally, my area has an abundance of 4-family properties in those in-between areas where a would-be house hacker can benefit from the four rental income streams (instead of just two if they bought a duplex) in order to help stay within the DTI requirements.
