I would also figure out the cost between now and next renewal and where you are related to the market. 

Their SDIRA company has agreed to do this... so long as the divorce decree spells out this requirement explicitly. 

Similar with a SFH: I can at least get in the market with a 5% conventional loan not expecting cash flow but hoping appreciation will help me out in the next 2+ years and I will at least be able to put up the remainder of the expenses since I do live with my parents.I am young so I could be overthinking, but my end goal is to have a portfolio where I can cash flow enough within the next 5-15 years to let go of my job (5k clean a month).

I think your best bet here is a DSCR cash out.

I use Turbotenant as my Property Management Software (PMS) to manage my properties and while I'm setting up my properties on it I can easily market the property with a click of a button and it will push out to all platforms that Zillow does not own: Apartment.com, Redfin, etc. 

I can be of assistance, please reach out.

Have a tenant who broke the lease and I agreed to let her out for a fee, which she finally agreed to but has made no effort to pay.

If you are buying sight unseen with cash, there are nonrefundable downpayments you have to watch out for.

We try to work it out with them.

Hey everyone,I’ve noticed that a lot of investors, especially those starting out, often face challenges when it comes to the earnest money deposit (EMD) required for property deals.
