Some investors in your spot will look at pulling equity through a cash-out refi or HELOC instead, since that can sometimes be viewed more favorably by lenders and still gives you the same tax treatment.This post does not create a CPA-client relationship.

It’s tough to balance and, historically, the Fed has tended to move way, way too late one way or the other.

This is why foreclosures are at historic lows (HousingWire).

I would suggest making trusted relationships with realtors, property managers, and investors. 

The news and markets scare people, the interest rates are average historically, but still consider high.

This can come from many different directions, but most commonly it is people that you have a personal relationship with and/or a referral from a close friend that I trust, especially when you are starting out, and even then it is still hard because you need to not just have these friends, but they also have to have some liquidity to invest.And to address your other question about track record in SFR vs MF, to some extent you are correct on the assessing deals. 

Banks have unsecrued LOC's that are not reported I have two of them with different banks but these are VERY difficult to secured and require 6 figure deposit relationships to 7 figure deposit relationships..

But the real key isn’t just what they do… it’s whether the way they do it aligns with your strategy.Here’s what I mean:If you travel often and prefer written records of every update, a manager who only calls you might drive you crazy.If your investment approach is long-term appreciation, working with someone who only focuses on fast tenant placement — without an eye on tenant quality or property care — could hurt you down the road.If you rely heavily on construction or renovations as part of your growth, you’ll want a manager with established relationships and systems to coordinate that, not just a reactive approach.The bottom line: there’s no universal “right way” to manage properties.
