Unlike traditional loans, DSCR loans focus on the property’s income rather than your personal DTI, making them ideal for investors with multiple properties.

Having to go back and forth to the property 5 or 6 times for things that could have been handled at the same time is rather annoying and that's not counting the fact the realtors have other appointments to get too or could have worked on other deals while the lender did what they were normally supposed to do etc.In my case I had an ideal deal that fit even their own requirement's, hence why I wanted to go with it.

The ideal situation would be to live in a duplex and rent out the other unit.

Ideally you make some money for your efforts and obtain a valuable education.  

These phrases conjure visions of an ideal lifestyle, but the reality is far more nuanced.

In the ideal scenario, we picture keeping the property as a cash flowing asset forever and letting our kids deal with it after we die.BUT, if that doesn't happen, and we decide to sell in 7 years or 10 years, I'm going to kick myself for losing out on the capital gains tax exclusion of $500k.  

I live in downtown and sold in the area for years so anything Central for me in the valley is ideal.

.- Consider reimbursing the new owner: While not ideal, paying the $6k might be the most cost-effective solution to protect the contractor's license and your reputation.- Learn for future projects: This experience underscores the importance of thorough inspections, even on recently installed systems.- Check statute of limitations: Depending on your state, there might be a time limit on claims related to construction defects.As a hard money lender specializing in fix and flip deals, I've seen similar situations arise.
