And you also hit the nail on the head there, I was even thinking that if appreciation is what we are looking for then maybe moving her to CA is best, but we would just have two properties which wouldn't be assets and only liabilities for a long time. 

Was curious if anyone has experience with dealing with overhanging tree limbs on your rental property.

Curious to learn more about your experiences.  

But I wondering how difficult is it to get a DSCR loan without experience building or buying rental properties.1.

Specifically, I'm looking at Joshua Tree and Borrego Springs.Does someone here have experience in these two markets? 

They're all going to use NOI/PITI, but you'll experience a range of DSCR requirements which will directly affect your max LTV and you'll also experience a range of rates.

Does anyone have experience with this company?

If you have this extremely valuable experience already under your belt owning 2 properties, why dish out a potential down payment for property number 3 over to a mentor or coach?

I assumed I could cashflow for 20% or more, so I want to see if I need to adjust my expectations based on the experience of others. 

I'm just starting out with my first STR so I'm really relying on good reviews and guest experiences to get more exposure on the listing platforms!
