I tend to write off physical expenses to the building and do not write off expenses associated with personal effects.

Really depends how you want to structure it. 

For example, focus on demo and structural work in month 1, plumbing and electrical in month 2, and finishing (flooring, paint, etc.) in month 3.

Would like to do cctv to back it up but not sure about physical location of box.thanks in advance

If you structure your lease option correctly, it'll actually benefit your DSCR loan.I have a lease-option tenant buyer that's currently in a 10-year lease option with me. 

As others have also noted, DSCR loans are separate from rehab loans which are often structured as hard money loans bundled with the upfront purchase.We fund both hard money for the purchase + rehab as well as long-term DSCR loans for the cash out refinance in BRRRR projects.

Quote from @Austin Schubert: Quote from @Chris Seveney: Quote from @Austin Schubert: Would anyone have a sample template of a proposal that you've used in the past that goes over how your structure a deal with a private money individual? 

Or, structure it as a lease option that expires in 1 Yr on the new home.

He said he does not physically visit the properties

Structural- roof, newer building no EPA?
