I have an investment property with a small front yard and average sized backyard. 

We had a couple properties that the appraisal come back lower than we thought so that killed the refinance.

Hi Jim, if the property isn't being used as a STR currently, certain DSCR lenders can use data like AirDNA to qualify for financing.

I have had a passion for real estate at the start of 2024 and I am hoping to buy my first property shortly.

What I have saved would ideally go to filing an LLC and earnest money when I get properties under contract.

My understanding is that most lenders will file a mortgage lien on the subject property as soon as the loan is signed so as to preserve their rights, but what if the lender did not do so before the borrower defaulted?

Mixed-use zoning has been a goldmine for many of my clients, particularly those who started with owner-occupied properties and later transitioned them to full commercial use. 

I do not think my current manager is a good fit for the property, for a number of reasons.

My advice: focus on building a strong financial foundation first save consistently, manage your credit, and educate yourself on real estate fundamentals.

These loans are tailored for investment properties and can help clients maximize cash flow without the typical income verification hurdles.
