@Stacy A Stewart I have personally used DSCR loans to purchase rental properties here in the Dallas/Ft.

Everyone has their own room and a bathroom and they share common space such as living room, dining room and a kitchen and they are one the same lease.

Where buyers/tenants can view dozens of properties in a day to screen out less desirables then schedule with a real agent to see the home in person!

This seems to be a heavily debated topic with many having their own opinions.

Capital ExpendituresNo Property management because I manage my own.

Foreclosures force the owner to sell because missed payments, probate forces heirs to sell a family members home, liens ultimately force a person to sell there homes to pay what they owe in tax/fines etc.

Small boutique firm, lower mgmt fee, personalized service, good mentions from here (BP forums), focused only on KC.

Nothing personal. 

You’re asking the right questions, and it’s great to see you thinking strategically.My Take on Your SituationSince you already own a rental and want to expand your portfolio, your main decision points are:1.How to pull equity to fund your next deal2.Whether to transfer your current rental into an LLC3.How to position yourself for long-term growthHere’s how I’d approach it:HELOC vs.

When it comes to resale and financing though it may be trickier since some lenders prefer properties that have their own separate parcels and a traditional buyer may see it as a downside when you go to sell.
