In my experience, Banks make it really difficult to obtain a mortgage and I have never been able to succeed in obtaining a loan with them for investment purposes simply because they require a certain amount of DTI ratios.

How has your experience been the last few months?  

Hi Mitchell,From our experience we haven't had any issues renting out properties to different residents that have a single family home and a garage unit conversion on the property.

By bringing together individuals with the key skills of deal finding, analysis, operations, and capital raising, and learning from the experience of top coaches and marketers, aspiring syndicators can navigate the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities in this exciting investment niche.

I have a lot of real estate experience, have worked in construction and have tools to work on a property myself.We've lived in Southern and Central California, currently in SW Oregon (went to college, lots of friends here), have family in San Angelo, Texas and near Seattle. 

As someone with vast rental experience in Austin, TX (and a resident of Dayton), I would suggest really conducting a PFS (Personal Financial Statement) ahead of time - if not already done - in order to better assess your purchasing capabilities, then we can dive deeper into the creative methods.Connect with me to discuss when it would be a good time to talk.

But they will give you even more valuable advise where to actually invest in the Houston area based on their years of experience.

@Benjamin WeinhartMy experience on this tax forum tells me that highly technical discussions of the Code/Regs nuances are not well suited for this platform.That said, my 2 cents is that this issue is a matter of interpretation.

Do you have any experience with class D S8 investments? 

I want to invest in TX so that I can learn hands on from my first investing experience, so I have to re-visit my buy box.What I want to know - What did your buy box look like starting out?
