It’s always nice to work with a lender that we already know has been good to work with! 

Looked at the job market and medium incomes. - Looked at a few properties on Zillow, plugged the numbers into a DSCR calculator, and calculated the Cap rate. - Looked at the property tax.

The house was built in 2020 and is a 3/2, in a nice neighborhood with a lot of amenities including golf, lakes, bike trails etc. 

My W2 job will cover a couple thousand dollars of expenditures per month, and we'd have the rent money from our current home, plus some HELOC funds available if needed, so I don't see financial survival being an issue.

Nice to meet you, would like to connect also.

If so I tried borrowing from a lender and they say I didn’t qualify because I haven’t been on my job for 2 years.

There is positive job growth from the tech industry, manufacturing jobs from Tesla, geographically restricted building, no income tax, low property taxes, close to CA, mild weather, and landlord friendly. 

PA, AZ, TX, FL, NC, SC all offer promising options for single-family and multi-family buy-and-hold rentals.Avoid seasonal tourism areas for stability; instead, focus on job centers, universities, and gentrifying neighborhoods.

That creates a really nice price / rent ratio which is favorable for investors looking for cash flow.
