I know it has been a while since you posted this and while my partner and I have both established HELOCs, I have been thinking again about what you said here.

I did receive an update shortly after posting here.

I'm completely new to this, just signed up, and I've scheduled a call with one of them that posts a lot on social media...maybe the same one.

Seller financing is a good way to start if you are looking to sell to your current tenants, other than that, you will need to run into a proper plan why you will need that and how long will it take you?

Love the post. 

My first reaction to your post is if you're purchasing assets that are throwing off positive cash but your DTI is going up then it may be time to re-evaluate the type of assets or the expenses associated with those assets.  2.

I have not heard of them, but I would make sure, especially since they seem to be a new player in the space, to ask them the questions that are outlined on the "Best Questions to ask your DSCR lender for STRs" post on this forum: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...

Saving $10 to miss out on proper data that leads you to a $40k deal is not worth it. 

For this post, the long story short is that no cats were on the application but lo and behold, there are 4 cats in the house during my first inspection.

I hope it works out and post anything that's positive with the next PM.
