Best bet is to find someone you want to work with and get on the phone with them so they can get more info about your situation and find the best loan product for your goals and situation.Make sure you get your files together:Tax returns, business and personalmortgage statements for each propertyProperty tax statements for each propertyInsurance declaration page for each propertyBusiness entity formation docs P&L of your income and expensesGood luck!

Depending on your area you'll likely have enough for a downpayment after a few deals but you'll also have to qualify based on income & employment requirements, filing your tax returns a specific way, etc. 

I'd rather not wait to file 2021 taxes which would clear us so anyone out there know of any options either locally in TX (North Dallas area) or nationally?

There is also a google sheets Short term rental calculator in the bigger pockets file directory.

I think I will have to file for eviction.

I like to have the lender call the listing agent directly to vouch for the pre-approval letter so they've heard a human voice and know it's not some unreachable person.As far as listing a house that needs updates, make it as clean and uncluttered as possible inside and out, we always stage (can be simple and DIY, makes a big difference) and do pro photos, and figure out what the house has going for it and what it could have that buyers love (great yard?

There are currently over 650 issued in total not all are active rentals, some STR owners freaked out and just got any property they could permitted.A local large employer just filed 70 permits for employee housing they have...

I second just creating a new account with a google voice number and this should help I would think.  

How would this work when filing income on taxes?

Hi @Derek Young, We had a similar question for our CPA and he suggested to separate all personal expenses from investing expenses to avoid confusion when filing taxes.
