(You said you plan to buy it for the amount of the loan, not the value of the property.).

Last year I had a guy buy a duplex DSCR for a lower rate than he would've gotten going conventional with half the battle. 

I'm in the knowledge gathering phase - more time I spend here in BP and other online sources, more I am realising there is a lot more to this than simply buying something off of redfin and renting out

I’m brand new to real estate investing but have always been interested in buying, flipping, and owning rental properties.

Not your typically RE agent and I don’t sell I only buy till the day I die, my kids will have that choice if they choose to sell.

There’s a lot of potential there, especially with its population growth and strong rental demand.Since you’re focusing on single family homes and aiming for long-term cash flow, it’s smart to start by clarifying your strategy (fix to rent, buy & hold, BRRRR) to guide your decisions.

I'd love to buy there again due to inventory and performing rentals but it's not worth it at this time.  

There is a reason why I buy properties that cost a multiple of what typical cheap rental properties are going for.

Buy your copy of TurboTax with the modules for the States, and you are set to do this yourselves, without having to pay us.
