The property taxes are a bit high but I made up for it with rental increase and minimal updates.

When you guys calculate ROI on a rental property do you typically include the equity gain from paying down your mortgage?

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

Maybe operate it as a mid-term/short-term rental?

Hello CA investors,I’d love to pick your brain on deciding between two investment homes for a short-term rental.

When you can buy properties like this, you can get almost 100% of your money out of the property, convert the property into a long term rental loan, with a DSCR Loan (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) where we as the lender look at the property and if it cash flows, and that is expressed as a ratio, for instance if your Total Loan payment including Principal, Interest, Taxes and Insurance was $1000/mo, then you would need a rent of $1200/mo and you would have a 1.2 DSCR Ratio.Here is an example of a cheap duplex https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/732-Broad-St-Menasha-WI-5...

This is an all-too-common mistake: a rental sits vacant, less-than-desirable tenants are approved, and then those tenants don't pay and cause issues.You have to rip the bandaid off and ask them to leave.This may sound harsh, but it's not entirely the tenant's fault.

Do they qualify for a DSCR loan with estimated market rents (use long term average rents, not suped up STR or MTR rental income to be safe).

Hi, I am starting to self manage my rental property and have below Qs.

Hey y'all,I've had a lot of previous experience with rentals (single & small multi family, STR) and did my first flip in 2023 (where I lost a very small amount due to contractors taking 3x the estimated timeline), and I'm looking to finally get into serial flipping.
