I believe they likely will talk, they share a back deck and am concerned the different rates may negatively impact the relationship if that scenario played out.

With the median time to contract stretching from 21 to 32 days, it’s about playing the long game.

Im able to find great cash flow here and over the last 5 years we have seen appreciaiotn play as well. 

It rents for $1950 and is more of an appreciation play because I like the area. 

Once I’ve confirmed who they (allegedly) are (of the latest wave,) I often call back multiple times, and when I get a live answer, I play music - only then do they get the point.

I don't know if this is in play for you or not... but it could also help explain the significant jump in taxes if it applies.I would start off with a call the appraiser and discuss the situation.

I want to buy it as a long term play.

@Archie BarrettJust wanted to say that there are MANY reasons to consider a DSCR loan vs a conventional loan, not ONLY if you do not qualify for a conventional loan due to DTI.Possible DSCR Benefits:Can do cash out refi prior to 1 year seasoning of the mortgageCan do cash out refi with no seasoning of ownership (with some lenders)Can do a loan with much less paperwork (this comes more into play every time you add a property)Can close on a DSCR loan directly in your LLCCan have your DSCR loan not report on credit (depending on the lender)DSCR loans can be cheaper than conventional loans for many credit scores and down payments.
