Most people are doing it incorrectly, so do your own independent research and don't follow the crowd, because right now--as least with respect to this particular topic--the blind are leading the blind.I just wrote a client advisory on this subject yesterday but can't post here.

Hi there,Congratulations on starting your real estate investing journey and completing the rehab on your Detroit property It sounds like you've done a lot of work and are now at a critical decision point.First, let's break down your situation:- You've already done major rehab and have a tenant in place.- You analyzed the hold option and know it can cash flow.- The property is not getting much traction as a turnkey, and your hard money loan is maturing soon.Here are some key things to consider:**Refinancing with a DSCR Loan:**- DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans are great for investors because they focus on the property's cash flow rather than your personal income.- Make sure the property appraises for the calculated ARV (After Repair Value) to get the best loan terms.- Consider the loan terms, interest rates, and any prepayment penalties.
