Hi Travis, can you share that with me as well?

Hey guys. So I'm looking for a 15% down DSCR lender. I've capped out my DTI and I'm looking for other methods of purchasing another property. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hey guys, 

So I currently have 3 properties and I want to purchase another one but the issue is I've maxed out DTI. What other methods should I use to acquire another property? I've been thinking DSCR but don't they typically have higher down payments and closing costs? I was also thinking of looking for seller finance deals. What are you guys thoughts for my best course of action?


We're in the exact same boat my friend. I'm currently getting under contract on a property for rent in Texas, our 4th, via DSCR.

Hoping it’ll be a successful move. 
P. S. I wouldn't worry about the higher dp because any investment property is going to require 20% down , like a DSCR


Let me know how that turns out! I know It differs lender by lender but I'm curious what CC's are like with DSCR. I was fortunate enough to find a lender with 15% down for my previous properties


 For sure, man, I’m sure it varies by state with Lending  but in Texas 20% down is  pretty standard on investment properties. Stinks. 


 How are the rents in Texas?


 pretty good!


 I'm in the metroplex/dfw so definitely good and virtually no vacancies as far as when they're turned


 That’s good that’s good

I’ve thought about dropping them but I’m under contract with them until September. I don’t want to give them any sort of penalty fees

Quote from @V.G Jason:

Drop the PM. Once they see applications are underperforming relative to the others, they need to advise you to make concessions somehow. Not 3 months later, but no more than 3 weeks later.

You need to re-price, but get a new PM. This is a slow season but you started this back in October? Should've been filled by now, for sure.

Hey guys,

so I closed 3 months ago and my property is still vacant. PM is telling me it’s because it’s a slow season. Any advice for me? I’m an out of state investor so it makes it a little harder for me. house is in great condition. It’s 4 bedrooms 1.5 baths. What can I do Myself to get a tenant quicker?

Quote from @Rassan Sampson:

I can't say for sure now but when I purchased my property in Detroit in June of 2019 and failed the first inspection that fall and finally passed in January of 2020, it took a while to receive the certificate but I was never made aware of any penalties. Going through the same process on that property now and hopefully will have a solid answer soon.

Did it cost you a lot to pass the inspections?
