In many cases, but definitely not all, students partner with Cody's development company to handle the entitlements and the exits to homebuilders for a profit share which can be mid-six figures for simply bird dirt-dogging the deal.  

I used a company to refinish a tub and it was better than new and much, much cheaper than replacement cost.

Now, I'm almost 25 years old and I've got a decent 401k for someone my age (thanks to a company match).

Thank Hey Eric,DSCR is a tool like any other loan product and as others have said, it will help you to scale, but you can't live in/house hack the property.Full disclosure; my company does DSCR and hard money for fix and flip exclusively and I'll tell you the same thing I tell all of our clients-exhaust the opportunity to use conventional financing BEFORE you dip your toe in the DSCR world. 

Furthermore, we've developed a program together with our Waco realtor/broker and a Fort Worth title company to sell up to seven 10+ acre home building tracts to raise almost $1M to be applied to the initial loan balance, including multiple closings the same day following our own closing funding 15%-25% of a required down payment as well as providing funding reserve for early months' loan payments during the 7-9 month rehab period.So we're positioned to go with our new venue once we're funded and get our rehab program underway.

Anyone in the Charlotte / Lake Norman area working with a property management company they would recommend?

In the event you were to proceed with what you are suggesting & there is a claim brought by a plaintiffs attorney, they will likely bring both the management company and the deed holder in as defendants making the litigation more complexed for you, the defendant. 

My first question that I ask is how many companies did you vet.

The Bank also communicates with the title company to order chain of title and require lender/title insurance. 

We used to do back to back closing with no money required but due to title company policies, lender disclosure requirements, and a variety of Federal and State laws this may no longer be practical.
