If we sense there is a red flag, were asking them to upload additional documents like tax returns w2's etc.

Quote from @Yaroslav Shtogun: Hello Community,I am seeking advice on the following real estate situation:I’m in the process of purchasing a double lot property (100x100 in an RS-50 zone) that includes a 1,200 sqft wood-frame house and a 640 sqft detached garage.

Amenities include, laundry, assigned parking, and wifi available for each unit.

Assume break even cash flow while rented which includes a generous $600/mo repair fund. 

Most hard money lenders require 10-20% down payment of the purchase price or total project cost.Holding Costs During Rehab: Yes, you'll need to cover carrying costs, including hard money interest, utilities, taxes, and insurance.

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).

My telephone number is included below if you have any questions or wish to speak, I have several minutes best wishes to you.

Ditch the red rug, increase art and add dresser, bedside tables to bedrooms.

Then plan and design how you're going to deploy that cash via what strategy your wife and you have confidence in.I use a excel or google doc and my first sheet would layout all of the details of the sale including all costs that go into getting closed.
