Are there any lenders that allow less than 20% down on a DSCR loan?

So if I understand sub to, you're basically assuming the mortgage. The owner doesn't really benefit much except for not having to pay a mortgage anymore?

Hello BP! I am from Long Island NY and looking for a new CPA/Tax Professional. I currently have one STR in another state and looking to add mid/to long term rentals in the near future. I would love to work with someone who is familiar with these 2 areas of investing. Hope to connect with someone soon and we can discuss more specific details.

Hello! I am refinancing my loan and they require a title search of course. They quoted me $2100 that seem like its right or too high? Any recommendations would be appreciated

1) Is it worth hiring a property manager? If so, any recommendations?

2) If we decide to self manage, what are the things we need to do / what team of people we need to hire? 
Any views would be much appreciated! 

Congrats on buying your first STR! So exciting :D I am also about a 2 hour drive from my rental in the Poconos and I self manage. I've put in all the systems to make managing it from afar a breeze. I usually head to the house once a quarter to check up on things and fix anything that might need to be repaired (and of course have some fun up there). Like the others have said, you'll want to integrate some software to help you manage your listing.

If you like some more information on managing, I started a concierge service there in the Poconos. I have a team in place that can help managing your rental very easy. Even if you didn't want us to help you manage it, I would gladly help with some pointers :)

Thanks for the tag in this post! I would love to help if you are still looking for someone to help set up your rental.
