It is seldom that a personal home is an optimal rental property.  

@Lex Layton  Similar to Peter's experience above, for my first investment property the partner put up the downpayment, and I got the loan in my name. 

Right now, I’m renting a studio on Miami Beach for $1,750 a month, and it hit me—what if I just bought the property I’m renting?

I own property in that general vacinity, namely Reading, Pa.

With a subto property that you want to Airbnb?

If you plan on buying investment properties in the future or after this scenario DSCR would be a good fit as well again No tax returns or personal income required.Lastly Non/QM also offers a program called "Bank Statements" for self employed buyers and it will allow the use of "Cannabis" income. 

@Geoff Regan I live in Nashville and have multiple properties.

When walking a property, what are the 3 most important things to look for?

I have 450k to invest and trying to figure out what would be best for an early retirement. 1) Do I purchase a property now in the Bay Area that.

I'm new to BiggerPockets and have found this site from "The Book On Rental Property Investing" by Brandon Turner.
