@Alanna ThomasIf you financed your property through a lender that escrows for your taxes and insurance - that stays in place regardless of what you do with the property (ie rent it out, etc).  

That was enough to get me through the door but his company offered a few other things I didn't expect such as an intro to the lender, title company, insurance agent, and property management team.

Does anyone know any lender that does this? 

If, instead of a partnership, you take the role of a lender, your money will be safer.

As a broad rule of thumb, the 50% Rule for SFRs states that about half of the rent will go to non-mortgage expenses.

Based on that I'd recommend: buying an SFR with as little money down possible (3.5% FHA or low conventional) using the remainder of the money to build a JADU and an ADU (specialized ADU lender for the remaining amount needed to build the units).

Leaving your business card at restaurants, barber shops, and other public places will not work.

The more you show them you know what your doing as a seasoned investor, the better the relationship with your lender will be and what they're willing to do when working with you.  

Lenders will allow up to 75% of the purchase price as long as the property can debt service. 

Does anybody know if my father can prove his income to a lender when I try applying for an FHA loan instead of my income?
