Below are some general notes on DSCR loans:* usually used for single family or 2-8 multi family unit properties (fits your scenario)* must be for investment, non owner occupied (if looking for a product for alternative qualifying solutions for owner occupied there are other products)* can close in a personal name or LLC* usually 80% LTV for a purchase (20% down payment) & usually 75-80% LTV for cash out refis* prepayment penalties vary and are optional, but the higher the prepayment penalty, the lower the rate / options typical range from no prepay all the way up to 5 year prepay and structures vary for how those penalties work (3 year is my most popular by far)* appraisal most likely required and paid out of pocket during transaction* can be used for long term, mid term, or short term rental properties * generally 1%+ is the desired DSCR ratio but you get better rates if the ratio is higher (usually rate breaks kick in at 1.15%+ or 1.25%+) and you can still get the loan done if ratio is lower than 1% but the rate will reflect that (DM me if you wand help learning how to calculate the ratio)* the average time to close is 21-30 days* fees vary lender to lender and product to product, but $1595 underwriting plus title fees is pretty standard* 700+ credit is preferred to get max LTV, but plenty of options if credit falls below that* a typical loan minimum is $75k (have limited options for $50k+) and typical loan maximum is $3-4m (have limited options for $4m+)* 3 months reserves usually required, having 6+ months will usually result in better loan terms, 0 reserves can still get the job done if you go with a program that allows you to use the cash flow as reserves* 30 year fixed, IO, and ARMS available

Hello Sharad, I would suggest that you consider what you get for the price range which you are purchasing and visit a few neighborhoods to determine your preferences.

Thats not a wise gamble in most cases if there is a market change for any unknown range of factors.

Buying a property at 7-8% interest today, then having to refi again in 12-18 months at a cost of $3,000-5,000 when rates are back down in perhaps the 5% range is likely taking a step backwards financially.   

For multifamily investments, using the LLC name is typically sufficient for legal and banking purposes, as advised by your CPA and banker.A DBA may be useful if you want a separate brand or manage multiple properties under different names, but it’s not required for most investors.

If you do it this way, you will see your CoCROI numbers are with-in range and beating the market Good Luck Cedtech Group.

It depends on the area but the typical range is 1.5 - 2.5.

But I think it's better for a local investor that is going to be hands on and self-manage.I'd much rather invest in Detroit where I can get a SFH in the $80,000 - $90,000 range with $1,200/mo rents.

In fact, AirDNA is so accurate that many lenders will now accept a AirDNA estimate (for non-declining markets) as evidence of sufficient qualifying income on many DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans and mortgages.
