It should be pretty accurate - high level data sites are not always going to be perfect, but should always be directionally correct and AirDNA has a pretty strong track record.  Only if it looks well off from otherwise projections would I worry something like hotel listings might be throwing it off

Hi, you seem like a potentially good candidate for DSCR Loans, a loan product that was essentially designed for exactly this - investors that want to build a portfolio relatively quickly and not be slowed down by DTI requirements or other hassles from conventional options.

Would be glad to help, also check out this 12-part series published here on BP on everything you would ever want to know on this loan option!

Welcome to Part 2 of our Video Series All About DSCR Loans – companion video walkthroughs to our popular article series featured on ‪here on BiggerPockets and featuring @Julia Lyrberg!

This video will cover advanced strategies and provisions in dscr Loans to truly get the best rate and terms on your next DSCR Loan beyond the Big Three – LTV, DSCR and FICO – that play the largest roles. If you missed video one in this series – I suggest you switch over to that one and watch that first – link provided right below!

Part 1:

• How to secure the BEST rates on a DSC...

Already got the basics down, well lets get started with Part 2!

Known for easy qualification and light documentation standards (no income verification, no DTI requirements, no tax returns, etc.), sophisticated real estate investors are continuing to utilize DSCR loan options after maxing out on conventional financing options or simply finding it's not worth trading the time and hassle of a bank qualification for the slightly lower #mortgagerates

The previous video outlined the basics of how to best position yourself as a DSCR loan borrower to get the best rates and terms on your DSCR loans. Quick recap: the rates and terms are primarily driven by three main metrics:

1. Loan-To-Value (LTV) Ratio

2. Debt-Service-Coverage-Ratio (DSCR) Ratio

3. FICO/Credit score

While the rate you're going to be quoted is going to be mainly driven by those three factors, there are several other pieces to the puzzle that can also change the terms offered. The savvy DSCR loan borrower will use all the options available to optimize terms, especially in volatile rate environments like today, where every little bit of rate matters in securing profitable investments!

This video will walk through the more advanced strategies real estate investors can use to minimize their rates on DSCR loans and secure the best long-term financing for their portfolios.

Not sure why people go for 40-year fully am instead of just traditional 30-year with 10-year IO option, I tend to think the 40 year term is more of a gimmick
