ThanksI agree with this statement as it relates to vanilla real estate investing IE buying rentals or fix and flipping wholesaling etc those are all basic concepts that are not terribly hard to figure out..

We offer it only if it is on an autopay with our online rental software, otherwise it would be to much work

You need thousands of dollars in reserves, per property, to make it with rentals.

Now both sides are long term rentals for me.

In a cash scenario, they’re only looking at the finished project and the rent its generating.All that being said, if I were you, I would start sooner and just do a straight up rental property with a loan.

This is going to be a long-term rental and although I won't be living in it, I want my tenants to be safe and feel comfortable if I ever need to sell it so will be doing through extra diligence.

I would rent it out and then do a cashout refinance based on the new rental income, DSCR loan.

I currently have 2 long term rentals, looking to add more cashflows.

Any suggestions on which method is a better way to furnish a rental property? 

Can I move rental income into a brokerage account?
