In short, no, it is not a bad time to start investing.

I've found Kiavi a bit better for the short term fix & flip (lower fees) and LendingOne a bit better for the 30 year DSCR (lower rate). 

They focus on finding long-term tenants, and it's a win-win as less turnover is less expense for us and less work for them. 

I'll start out with asking what your long term goals are.

I have been working full-time RE,  BRRRR method on single-family homes in my local area for the past 4 years.  22 homes completed-  (2 sold) 20 long term rented.  

I heard that short term loophole is a one time benefit that you get the year you start service.

. - the best market is one that has properties you want to hold long term.  

After that, it becomes long-term capital gain.

I live in Los Angeles, so it makes things tricky in terms of flips and in-state investing.

Hi all,I have 5 units and will have the ability over the next couple years to scale some.One thing that is holding me back is the time commitment on maintenance between little issues that wouldnt really make sense for a handyman/contractor to do and probably wouldnt take the job anyway to renos/painting/etc between tenants and everything in between.
