If you're looking for the cheapest route, conventional may be a better bet.

If your goal is less required documentation, DSCR is likely your best bet as most everyone as mentioned, possibly a bank statement program depending on your job structure. 

I'm sure there are other similar services out there. 2) DSCR loans would probably be your best bet.

I'm not sure of what the rules are regarding agent-client confidentiality but without naming any names or addresses, for example:SFH#1 or Duplex #1, if this is Class A, B, or C area, purchase price, down payment, loan terms, monthly payment PITI, gross rent, property management fees, other repair or cap ex costs your client went through and the net rental income for this investorIf this isn't an LTR but an MTR or STR, now we're adding utilities, WiFi, furnishing the place, higher PM fees.

Your best bet is to get on the phone, get multiple opinions, multiple quotes, and make decisions on the type of build before pulling the trigger.

Hey Bigger Pockets community, I'm just starting out in Step 1 (get educated) on what I want to become a successful career in real estate investment.I also currently run an e-commerce business that is currently completely online, but would benefit from having a brick & mortar storefront, and I had an idea that maybe using the investment capital I'm looking to allocate into real estate into a commercial property my business can operate out of until I decide to sell the property in or rent it out to another business.I am obviously very naive when it comes to the complexity of any good real estate deal (especially commercial VS residential), but I'm hoping to spend as much time learning from everyone here who is on their journey as well.My main concern with the idea of buying commercial to operate my business out of it that I might struggle to rent it out afterwards and that there may likely be depreciation in the commercial real estate market over the next 5 years.I understand there is a lot of nuance depending on the local market but I'm guessing commercial is even less of a "safe" bet than finding a solid residential deal to leverage in some way.

Bacon is more yummy than a Christmas tree, but I bet I'm going to have a whole lot less regulation growing Christmas trees... however, before we even get to that, it's necessary to know that the inquiry is even about bacon v Christmas trees, rather than Bacon v grapes. 

This is a humongous audience to tap into so you have to take advantage of it sooner rather than later to find great real estate deals and motivated sellers.Your best bet to connect with people quickly is to run Facebook ads and promoted posts.

You can just answer it without the jazz, and I bet you know a few places right off top of head where people WANT to live, right. 

I bet that you can pay off this debt in 1 year or much less.
