Make sure the property’s rental income will cover these costs.

In other words, if you don't fill your unit in the slow season because you're afraid it will cut into your high season revenue, will the high season revenue more than cover the difference?

He can't loan you any part of the 3.5% down and you can get seller contributions to cover closing costs, etc.Just food for thought...

Landlords can enter a tenant's property for a variety of reasons, including: Making repairs or replacements Responding to a tenant's request Removing unauthorized window coverings Preventing waste of utilities Changing filters, testing, or replacing smoke detector batteries Inspections Helping with an emergency inside the unit Posting a notice of eviction"Research your state laws because some of your comments indicate a lack of understanding of the landlord/tenant laws where you are operating (like threatening the tenants to keep the security deposit if they don't respond to you, I doubt that is actually a valid reason to keep their deposit, or evicting for late payments, or charging the tenants for your warranty repairs because you missed your 11 month inspection window which was your responsibility, and it looks like your lease says you can charge up to 18% interest for unpaid fees, is that actually legal?).

That being said, it's very difficult to get rents to even cover PITI payments at 80% loan-to-value in Utah these days. 

Covered over by the tar paper and shingles.

About 20% use DSCR (usually 20-25% down) and the rest are cash or hard money or something else.For $325k purchase:1) As a broker I would negotiate down as its been on the market a while and its especially now in holidays)2) I would also negotiate seller paid closing cost credits, most loans allow 3% which should cover most or all of that.3) Assuming you paid $325k but got closing costs covered I would anticipate a minimum of $32,500 down and maximum $65,000 down depending on lending product chosen.4) Remember you still must furnish and I use $20/ft as a safe estimate to fully outfit an STR property.Best of luck!

I also like to use incidental insurance as an additional layer such as Waivo to cover items.

you're "out of pocket" those costs, plus maybe a month of vacancy.my point - you're basically always out of pocket on a rental. sometimes the rent more than covers everything, other times it doesn't. 

That covers two days of the eight month delinquency.
