Many of our clients have done this and secured much better terms....EricThis spreadsheet decision is based on what you can afford and when you expect interest rates to fall.

@Danny Lyu  If you're getting 10% down on that loan product, I would definitely do that and just close in your personal name. 

But with this being a 5 unit multi-family building most lenders do not offer a loan product that will take the STR revenue into account. 

I have a lender who could be a good connection to see what you can afford.

When analyzing potential investment opportunities, one thing you can't afford to overlook is projecting those sweet returns.

I live in NYC but I'd like to invest outside of NYC where it'll be more affordable.

In my area there are a few small regional banks that have competitive DSCR products.

Both of them are extremely knowledgeable, the course content is thorough, and most of all affordable for a beginner. 

Is there a combination of lending products and tactics you see that can make it possible to refinance after possibly 2 years and get out a large enough portion of funds to use towards the downpayment on another property?

And it most likely will.There are some loan products available for low downpayment if you are willing to do a live and flip situation.
