Can you please explain why DSCR lenders cap/reduce leverage on properties that are considered "rural?"

Quote from @James Hamling:If the focus / goal was to reduce risk, isn't risk best reduced via the mitigating power of diversification of risk? 

They were motivated to work hard since I would pay them a base commission for each purchase I made, and also a reduced commission on the future sale.

I’ve started reducing my number of doors: better locations/ higher returns and less stress. 

Feel free to reach out any time for real estate talk, and a cup of sugar "coffee" haha.

If your dad has the funds to cover that and then essentially reduce what he's giving you with regards to the house - then...

With a larger down payment, you can reduce your loan fees and interest expenses, and you will have an easier time qualifying for a hard money lender since you have no experience. 

Depreciation and other related costs will reduce that income tax burden owed to the state.

Then it hit me...I took the tile to the store, had them match a color to it and then reduced the color by 50% and 75%.

Keep in mind many buyers calculate/ add their own expenses thus lowering the cap rate that they see, so trying to be creative in reducing expenses (i.e. not including management even if you use it) may not be helpful.
