Quote from @Matheus Souza: Hey everyone so I am a brand new real estate investor just starting out looking to invest in long-term rentals and I need some insight, so I am recently self-employed for about seven months and I know I can't get a traditional loan due to me not having two years of self-employed tax return therefore I came across DSCR loan and Bank statement loans what are your guys's thoughts on those?

"A" property is usually unaffordable or the rents don’t generate enough to make it worthwhile.

Drop your city + a few details below (like nearby employers, hospitals, or universities), and I’ll give you my quick take on whether it has solid MTR potential.I’ve been helping hosts analyze markets across the U.S. — from healthcare hubs to engineering project cities — and I love sharing insights.Ready?

Columbus has been awesome for building wealth because it’s affordable, cash-flow positive, and growing like crazy with major employers like Intel, Amazon, Google, and Honda moving in.

Quote from @Sam Page: Scott - what kind of strategy are you employing? 

Is there a company I can go with to take a loan out against my 401k as I have 2 from previous employer I need to combine to a new one which would be helpful if I could use that to pull cash against. 

Go to school, work your way up the employment ladder buy a house and invest in your 401k.

I would really prefer a section 8 tenant that is employed with little to no debt (that is in collections).

What companies look for:Fully furnished, utilities + internet included.Flexible lease terms (30–90 days, sometimes 6 months).Easy parking and proximity to major employers.3.

Verifying last 2-years of rental history and income/employment extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Tenant Default: 20-30% probability of eviction or early lease termination.Section 8: Class D rents meet program requirements, often challenges to pass Section 8 inspection.Vacancies: 20%+, depending on market conditions and tenant screening.Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciation.Where did we get our FICO credit score information from?
