While algorithms can analyze data at scale, real estate isn’t just about numbers—it’s about nuances and the most important component of real estate is understanding its value, and that to me (maybe I am old school) but can only be done by physically visiting and walking the property.So for me, factors like local market conditions, property inspections, and borrower credibility can’t be fully captured in a formula.

Most of these program qualifies borrowers with income and very few DSCR.

There is one exception to this rule for VA borrowers, but it requires additional inspections to confirm the home is functional after having been moved more than once.There are some additional guidelines or requirements for the manufactured home itself that us lenders might have to satisfy prior to closing.

Using leverage to scale, such as borrowing against this cash for larger down payments?

If you can brand yourself as someone with a strong track record of getting VA buyers to the closing table efficiently, realtors will take notice and vouch for you and your clients as offers are submitted and this will show tremendous value to borrower clients.  

. - Hence why all the DSR loans we've seen have a required document the borrower signs that states the lender will start foreclosure proceeedings if the borrower ever occupies the property.Please correct me if I'm wrong or clarify anything I missed.

I totally recognize that is impatient and greedy.My gut is saying your short picture idea is where we're heading since we are taking the same hit with brokerage account (I didnt even mention borrowing against 401k - yes its not advised but my wife and I have stable W2 income to pay ourselves back) Thanks again, this BP community / forum is awesome

Just because a buyer doesn't fit the bank criteria, does not mean that they are a poor borrower.

I also know I can look at ways of borrowing against that equity (HELOC for example) but I also just feel like if I take debt on that property the cashflow goes down, and then if the association also takes the loan it goes down more, and at that point I don't know why it would be a better option than selling before August. 

What is the best way to show cash in hand in order to buy it when you don't have the cash and need to borrow the funds?
