What specific concerns or opportunities are you seeing in your market?

This will be area specific. 

First start with a scope of work outlining in specific detail everything from work hours, who provides dumpsters and what is getting done room by room.

This is highly lender-specific; there are no universal guidelines for DSCR loans like there are for GSE/Govvy loans.

For the most part vs focusing on a specific neighborhood or two I would say keep you options open to all. 

My approach is conservative and focused on finding properties that meet specific criteria to ensure solid returns.If you’re interested in multifamily investing and would like to explore potential partnership opportunities, feel free to reach out!

That isn't written somewhere specifically that way, but your lender will ask why you would move your primary from (for example) a 2,000 SF SFR to a 750 SF unit in a four plex?
