(simplified, a 1.20 DSCR means for everything $1,000 in PITIA, you earn $1,200 /mo in gross rental income from the subject property). 

I picked up the properties for a heavily discounted price (because they had sat on the market), and had no problems finding highly qualified (and high-earning) tenants that made the place cashflow right out of the gate.Another example: I once bought a property in an A class neighborhood that had an awkwardly-placed stairwell inside the front entrance, which turned off other buyers.

Subject-to investing also peaks curiosity.

You can get a second job working part-time and earn another $20,000+ this year. 

Just connect with someone doing deals vs reading books, learn, earn then go on your own, 

Hey Chris,I currently use Charles Mueller at Peak Financial ServicesI cannot ensure he will have all of your answers, but he has definitely assisted me in getting my rental property and 1099 taxes in order!

But - is there an opportunity in this market (as a real estate broker) to lead with seller financing and target sellers (say 70, 75, 80 YO) and specifically market thier properties to qualified buyers....seems like there could be many benefits to the sellers and IF they are open to being on a fixed income, not much of a downside since they are protected and earning interest on their $$ (many landlords I know are more comfortable with bricks and mortar than ()stocks/bonds/equities)  anyways.

The list goes on and on.You also might want to consider investing in a Private Lending Fund where you can earn 9-12% on your investment without all of the responsibilities of a lender.

After five years you'll have earned $120,000 in rent income and gained $136,000 in appreciation.

It appraised for $270K but that was last July at the peak.
