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!

- We've chosen many times NOT to renew a S8 tenant's lease because of the damage they cause, which their caseworker won't hold them accountable for.- We just evicted a S8 tenant that refused to pay their portion of the rent. - We also have S8 tenants move because the owner won't agree to repaint, replace carpeting, etc. - that were new when the S8 tenant moved in 1-2 years ago.Another challenge of finding S8 tenants is many EXPECT you to waive application fees and security deposits.
