I just had an introductory call with someone last week and am considering it.

The credit thing should not be an issue for many DSCR folks like myself. 80% ltv may be an option, but,I have seldom found the tradeoff in cost/rate to be worth it in the last 12 months. 0% origination is possible, but, as others have said compensation is received in one fashion or another (higher rate, processing fee, etc.).

For example, I bought a duplex in a B neighborhood called Reynoldsburg for $350,000 last year.
