In California the DRE does not require you to join any association.

Cannot control association fees3.

. - Mobile homes are permitted I've verified with the recorded restrictions and by calling the Property Owners Association. - Current owners have surveys, this is a new subdivision.- Public sewer available.- Current owners purchased many lots and they haven't developed them.

They are very up front about the whole process and all the details.Before I go on, I want to make it clear that I am a small time entrepreneur and am in no way affiliated with the Capital Syndicate, Awesome REI or anyone else associated with this course.I bought the Capital Syndicate course because I wanted to see if I could apply it to a specific niche market.I bought all the add ons because I wanted to make sure I gave it every shot to work properly and because they offered a 30 day money back guarantee. 

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).

Other things to consider:HOA RESTRICTIONS: If your property is part of a homeowners’ association (HOA), check their rules, as they may prohibit or restrict ADUs even if city zoning allows them.

Ask them a lot of questions about their loan programs and the costs associated.2.

This approach will help minimize the potential financial risks associated with renovations and working with contractors.

I specifically want to call out one of their Senior Accounts Associate, Charlotte Cunningham, who helped me through the process on my first purchase as I needed to buy a sizable amount of furniture quickly and she was able to help me make moves quickly...and didn't make me feel bad whatsoever when I pulled back a few items at the last minute I was able to find them cheaper elsewhere.

I Would look to do as much of the work associated with the value add asi could.
