From cap rates and cash-on-cash returns to net operating income (NOI) and internal rate of return (IRR), how do these numbers help you understand their impact on investment decisions?

In every STR that I have done, the lender has always factored in income as a long term rental.

If you are buying or refinancing an investment property, you can use a DSCR loan to finance which doesn't consider your DTI or income to underwrite the loan.DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

I am new to real estate , i just purchased my 1st rental house in fort worth, and made it available for renting for about $2100 , i am getting lot of section 8 / voucher's for the house, although i am interested in renting to to section 8 ,  i am confused on what are the minimum income criteria should i look for  ? 

She also told me that the owner is from Mexico, he does not report everything and is earning more income than reported.  

Please keep in mind that for flipping, any investment held under 12 months is regular income, not capital gains income.

Run the numbers and you may be better off keeping your money in a deposit account that earns 5% (or look for something even higher) than buying a rental. 

We got wind of it through one of our Broker contacts.. the issue for the land owner is he had taken roughly the same option payments yearly 150k And now with the option failing he was going to have to capture all that income as earned income and pay tax.. ( which of course he is kind of like a lottery winner the 150k a year was always gone in 10 months) So he was in a potential bad spot with IRS and we were able to step in and take over the option for the same terms.

Hi Jay,If you aren't currently employed/have no income, most traditional loans will be out of the question.

This could provide a steady stream of additional income while allowing you to stay in the home you like.Short-term rental: If renting out a room isn't feasible, you could explore the option of short-term rentals through platforms like Airbnb.
