There are cons with condos however, including HOAs, less likely to appreciate, etc.

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC.

Lol, ozone machines are great, but chain smoking in a house is a carpet, pad, seal coat on the subfloor, full paint including ceilings and at that point you may be good.

Even if you create a non-CA LLC, if you are managing the business from California, you will likely be deemed to be "doing business" in California and therefore likely subject to CA taxes.

You can also think about creating a new company for each deal that you do, to keep all assets separate.

To my surprise, they provided a quote for a 23% management fee per month rent, which includes a one-year rent guarantee (regardless of whether tenants pay or not) and a maintenance credit of 2.5k per year.I must admit, I was taken aback by the figure.

Hi Jagger-Great question.I am a fellow Michigander from Ann Arbor.Nothing against Maine but the Midwest has seen some of the strongest rent growth in the country.When I consult with my clients, if they don't have the budget for a market like Ann Arbor, I direct them to Lansing, MI.The cashflow is strong, the economy is stable, it is the State capital so there is always economic development creating new jobs, the price point is relatively affordable because the cost of living is lower there, and appreciation is predictably linear.I also advise investors to buy duplexes and up so you always have a rent check coming in most of the time if you have a vacancy.
