@Stacy A Stewart I have personally used DSCR loans to purchase rental properties here in the Dallas/Ft.

Quote from @Karolina Powell: I'm looking to make two SFH purchases (~250K and ~200K). 

Quote from @Daniel Green: Hey everyone,  I'm Dan, 35 here, I'll be able to make my first purchase in summer '26.

I'm not doing Rent to Own and selling mobile home with no interest - a portion of rent is applied to purchase price. 

Basically, if your first home was purchased for $194K, you probably have VA eligibility for up to another $600kish home. 

Your lease purchase arrangement would be good as long as the senior or their family have enough money for assisted living care until you execute the purchase. 

@Jason Khoury I purchased my current residence, a duplex, from a local non-profit about 5 years ago.

If you had good credit (670-730 range), you have 20% to make a down payment, and sufficient income to qualify for the home you want to purchase - Would you choose the FIRST-TIME HOME BUYER or CONVENTIONAL purchase option...which would you pick and WHY?

Quote from @Jason Reider: I've been in the process of purchasing a duplex and all along the seller's agent has been pretty much unresponsive to mine.

I’m in Ohio, so I can purchase a property with $40k cash out, invest $10k in repairs, and rent for a couple hundred above the monthly operating costs.
