@Colleen F.I'll be renting by the room - regardless of the lease (that I am still working on), any one tenant might move in or out (within contract's limits) independently of the others.

Hi Jose - sharing a link to this article I published last year on BP on all about DSCR Loans https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/multifamily-dscr-loansI also posted a piece on this (companion to a youtube video on our channel) this week on the Private Lending forum - https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/49/topics/1184943-multi...Key is how many units you are looking at:In these forums - A common question among real estate investors that want to get into the multifamily investing space is how to get financing.

Chris do you send independent appraisal to every home for the note you want to purchase before even buying it ?

My recommendation is to work with a knowledge independent agent that can pair you with the right company.  

These are independent contractors and should not be employees (very expensive if they are.)Please consult with a licensed CPA and Attorney in your state.Good Investing...

I track the statistics for the multifamily and rental market here and publish a monthly newsletter specifically geared toward investors. 

I highly suggest looking into duplexes in areas like Sunnyside, Acres Homes, Independence Heights, and East River.

The current dividend scale is about 6%, but when that kicks in depends on the cash value.

Are they getting published in lists from travel blogs?

A study published by the CCIM institute looked at 50 years of history and reverse-engineered the interest costs of 5-year fixed and floating loans over 562 starting points and found that floating rate borrowers “won” 72% of the time.
