Consider FHA loans for lower down payments, but remember, the key is to find properties where the rental income covers your mortgage and expenses, ensuring positive cash flow (although in Austin is will be hard, but not impossible, to accomplish)Aiming for five properties in five years is very ambitious but achievable with the right strategy.

If it is well located make it a short term rental.

What type of terms they looking for?

Yes, many hosts of short-term rentals (STRs) use inventory management systems to track supplies effectively.

If you sell a property in one year or less after owning it, the short-term capital gains is taxed as ordinary income, which could be as high as 37 percent.

I was pre qualified for a DSCR Loan shortly after buying my first house but due to financial constraints to come up with 20-25% of the down payment I feel like I’m stuck.

Kitchens need exhaust fans too or you get unhealthy air recirculated from cooking,  We will be using an eco-dashboard that monitors indoor air pollution like C02,Carbon Monoxide (CO)Nitrogen dioxide and Sulfur dioxide are part of qualifying for the new healthy homes loan program that HUD and EPA run.

@Robb AlmyHere is what struck me“In total, 224 investors who own short-term or long-term single-family, condo, or townhome rental properties completed the survey.

I currently have 20+ units that serve short-term, mid-term, and long-term rentals.

I also have 0 debt and good credit score.My question is if there is a fast track where I would not have to be working 2 years on a w2 in order to be able to get a loan and buy a house?
