I am in the very early stages of looking at a commercial property to invest in.

Give us a shout and we can help you out with an analysis.

I advise clients not to solely rely on AirDNA data for performance analysis as there can be some variation based on amenities such as hot tubs, premium decor and design and general operational excellence. 

This is the stage of the process where your lender can issue your loan docs out to escrow/title/settlement and these folks can schedule your signing for closing.Before it can reach CTC you'll need to make sure all income/assets/credit remain the same so that means no changes to your credit that are bad or adverse, no job or income changes ideally, and hopefully those funds you've set aside to close with are still "there," so we can keep this closing on track.If you had any questions left feel free to fire them off.

Same goes for DSCR loans - even if theyre not on your credit report, if you PG'd the loan (which is almost always the case), it will be included unless there is a justification to exclude it (such as it's been paid by your entity for at least 12 months and is included in a business cashflow analysis).If you're finding good deals and have cash for downpayments, but are hitting DTI roadblocks to acquire more properties, then DSCR loans are likely the answer.
