I've started my journey in the expensive Seattle market and found house hacking a duplex gave me a tremendous boost as my first property.The top 10 advantages that played out quite well:1.

So we use Proper as well and it is pricey but it covers just about everything you could imagine.Regarding mid term rentals.

This is akin to stating the obvious, as DSCR assessments are fundamental in determining the viability of such loans, similar to DTI (Debt-to-Income) ratios for residential mortgages.Your emphasis on the operational efficiency of well-run assisted living facilities highlights that their financial performance typically isn't constrained by DSCR limitations.

Other areas were your relying on Wells that are very expensive and or you pay 15k for a dry hole.. etc etc. there is basic due diligence that needs to be done and relying on someone else to do that for you is frankly foolish.

However, the biggest challenge is dealing with well and septic systems, which can cost $15K - $75K to fix.

If it is well located make it a short term rental.

I realize now, had we done that, it would have appreciated well, especially on the stock side.On that theme, if you have very long term designated reserves, I think you are the captain of the ship.
