I've listened to enough podcasts to KNOW that I have to build the team first before EVEN putting a contract on a property.

Particulars:1) 1st SFH rental property cash flows $400 and we have a 2 year lease agreement that ends in 2025. 2) 2nd SFH I currently live in, I would rent out and probably experience a negative cash flow of --$100 cash flow for first year, break even 2nd year, and build little cash flow moving forward.

If you have interest in building/investing in ADUs in the Huntsville area, please send me a DM so we can have our city leaders update the zoning code for better investment opportunities.Thanks

Get rid of debt, build a budget, and save.

How long have they owned the building and what’s the current occupancy?

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 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).

As they create the debt after with your situation debt is already created so getting the banks blessing is paramount.I sold an office building i had to take back after the GFC my bank was good to me and kept my loan in place and I did what you did and sold to my Tenant..

Even go from multiple SFHs and consolidate into an industrial building.

These buildings typically have 3 floors with 2 units per floor.

Investment criteria not tax considerations should in my opinion always be the primary factor in making investment decisions.
