Just guessing the numbers.If we put down $400,000 together with an interest rate of 7% (it could be higher), then im guessing the monthly mortgage with insurance and tax would be around $3,886.If each unit rents for $1,500/month: Total Monthly Rental Income: 1 , 500 × 4 = 1,500×4=6,000 Monthly Expenses: Mortgage (PITI): $3,886 Maintenance/Repairs: $500 Property Management: $600 (10% of rent) Vacancy Reserve: $300 (5% of rent) Total Monthly Expenses: 3,886+500 + 600 +300 = $5,286 Monthly Cash Flow: 6,000−5,286 = $714We split the profit in half so each person takes $357 a month..How much should we be profiting from this in order to make it attractive to jump in?

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).

You cannot just raise rents 50% Not sure what your cash reserves are or if you are planning to 1031 or something along those lines but I would rather see you keep cash in your pocket and apply it to a rehab that involves addition or updating kitchen/bath so you can see sizable jump in ARV and rent increases.
