Conventional VS DSCR VS Other
Is it just me or is conventional now costing about the same as DSCR and of course everyone prefers less paperwork if it's the same cost… Are others seeing this?

The gap is tightening. Conventional can still be a great option if finding the right lender, but we've found different lenders offering quite different products currently. Many people are looking at ARMs then to refi in a few years as the feds expect rates to come down in 2024/25.
Remember with DSCR:
-look at PPP
-higher down payment still and slightly higher rate
-less qualification/easier closing
-loan convenants can be rather restrictive. The best loan products may come with strings attached.
