Down payment should be about the same (20% on a buy-and-hold) but you'll see an additional $3-$6k on average in CC and the ability to keep it off of your DTI/Personal credit along with hopefully no more hard inquiries on your credit (many lenders will accept/perform a soft pull).

I was working with Kiavi on a DSCR cash out refi 75% LTV on a SF home in NC that is rented to a long-term tenant.We setup the application, credit came through and the appraisal came through for both value of property and the "fair market" rental value.

Get knowledge, follow experienced people, and leverage wisely.My Take:If you have two houses, excellent credit, and motivation to build wealth, you can learn to manage your money responsibly.Use HELOC, credit cards, and business credit funding to leverage your cash and buy properties faster.

I have Section 8 rentals in my portfolio but I do recommend connecting with a property manager who specializes in Section 8 rentals - they'll know all the specific requirements, inspections, and paperwork needed. 

They may also require US credit history, although there are a handful that will not require a US credit report for an increased rate/ reduction in LTV. 

Its time to get an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation. 

All of those people also get credit/background checks. 

This is the reason I quit being a moderator because of something that went mildly off the rails in the forums, and then it was completely censored because I responded to staff in the forums after they mentioned me.I think the moderators do an amazing job and should be given more pay or credit or anything.
