I would NOT do a blanket loan today given so many DSCR lending sources are at even under 6% one loan on one house. 

As I'm finishing up #abcsofrealestateinvesting by Ken McElroy I'm on pg. 144 #maintenance Goes on to say if you are a property manager and you will have to source and negotiate your own providers for services like #plumbers #electricians Now as I look on how I handle it as my own #propertymanager I seek someone who has customer service and also look at if they offer #militarydiscount-It's a good thing I'm a #realtor during this #coronavirus as I contacted both a #garagedoor installer and #roofer ( #allseasonsroofing ) and they said they have been slammed with so much work.

I do not plan on this becoming my primary source of income until then.

It's possible that you don't qualify for a residential loan on an investment property, but I would want a verifiable answer from a trusted source before making any decision.  

If someone gives you a great source it will be an absolute miracle

It being the only heat source in the home at that time.

As long as you have another fuel source, go with that.

@Joe M.The education from BP and most other reputable sources always taught to keep reserves.  

That should give you the market, use multiple sources.

I've read through some of the beginner guides, some articles and heard some of the podcasts and now believe that RE estate can be stable source of passive income if planned out properly.
