Do you recommend self managing in PS (or even Indio) where tenants may be a little more high maintenance:) I ask because PM fees can be anywhere from 20-30% and will deplete any cash flow we may generate. 

When I sold some lesser properties during recent market high of end of 2021/beginning of 2022 I chose to pay the cap gains.

You can go and look up all the Fannie Mae guidelines online on their website:https://selling-guide.fanniemae.com/sel/b/origination-throug...The link above is the "origination through closing guidelines"Hope it helps!  

Especially when I compare my property to the other homes in the area because of it's proximity to a luxury golf course, the boarder of Rancho Palos Verdes (a high-end neighborhood).

Recommendations for DC? 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

You are wasting your time and theirs by running applications when they don't even know if the house will work for them.I recommend you include some of your key qualification criteria in the advertisement.

I've heard great things about this site and community.

If you ever plan to refinance the property, I would highly recommend structuring the lease as a master lease. 

Thanks,Hey Joel,If you are tight on PITI, then I usually recommend looking into an interest only loan, maybe on a 5-10 year IO plan, to lower your payment and see if you can squeeze it in.Plus, rates are starting to dip a little bit, so it makes it a little more doable, especially if you just do a rate and term refinance to help keep your rate lower.
