Many programs can be very similar between lenders, but you may find that in certain scenarios a particular options works best. 

I will say though it has been pretty easy to originate loans for self employed borrowers thanks to NonQm programs available for them. 

I don't have any experience with that company specifically, but assuming it is a 'build to rent' type program, I have yet to hear of anyone who has a completely satisfactory experience purchasing through these.Regarding the area that property is in specifically, it's going to be a very rural area, currently with low rental demand and a bit higher crime rates compared to the surrounding area.

All the info they sell on their "educational" programs you can get FOR FREE.

Lastly, education rates are up somewhat since 2010 while poverty rates are down.SNAPs (supplemental nutrition assistance program) rate is up a bit however. 

Streeteasy allows NYC agents & landlords to advertise "no fee" rentals which many like to take advantage of to receive more inquiries, applications, and fill vacancies sooner.Right now, Streeteasy has 4,567 Brooklyn rentals listed and 3,196 are marketed as "no fee".In addition to this, section 8, cityfheps, and other rental assistance programs usually pay the broker fee instead of the landlord or tenant paying.Hope this helps!

@Pamela Smith Did they offer a full refund if not satisfied before you bought into the program?

Managing it, and building a relationship with the city will make it easier for you to start investing in non section 8 rentals and doing the work it needs to get them approved by the program.

Some brokerages might even offer support or mentorship programs that could help you get started.Keep pushing forward—your goals are within reach!

One of the good things about DSCR Lenders is that the guidelines and programs are different and not cookie-cutter 100% equivalent like conventional lenders that all must mirror the GSEs, etc.Most DSCR Lenders will have similar rates and terms and generally similar processes - so generally what will make the "best" one is the best one for your needs - I would focus on any specialties or niches - like short term rentals, if you do multifamily or mixed use, BRRRR Method or focus in on a specific market - find someone who specializes and has a good track record in that niche or area
