Some very unique answers. 

While DSCR loans tend to have interest rates a bit higher (generally 0.75% to 1%) than the other two options, which can challenge cash flow, this comes with some advantages that are uniquely suited to the BRRRR method.

But obviously, we have spent the better part of 20 years on the buyer's side of the table, so we are looking for some general advice, tips/tricks, or even the pitfalls of setting up a hard money lending arm to augment our current business model. 

Neither party wants that.I've helped out a handful of people that found me on the platform and heard a variety of unique and exciting stories from real investors that need some help with their situation.

I hope you make a few connections so you can meet across the table and get the advice you need.

I have a unique opportunity to consider.  

Likewise, loan points are amortized over the life of the loan and I have them in a separate sub-table of the fixedAssets, but unless they pull up the original journal entry you can't tell which loan they pair with, and it seems like a stretch for the CPA to track down that the loan was refinanced and hence all the remaining depreciation should be taken now. 

On a final note, please verify that there is a demand for this unique investment approach in your market.
