The 3rd party wasn't able to screen the applicant.

I probably wouldn't want to use a DSCR loan then, because my interest rate on the multi-family is much lower than the current rates. 

Don't solely rely on third-party management companies; instead, focus on building a solid asset management plan and, if needed, bring in experts or partners who excel in this field.

On the RE side - I own/developed 2,000 residential units across the United States focusing on opportunistic residential acquisitions and development, including student housing conversions and luxury multifamily development.On the startup side - it is a third-party guarantor platform that expands your renter pool, increases rents and occupancy, and ultimately boosts your NOI while broadening affordable housing options for renters.

I agree that DealCheck (or the BP calculator) does not provide enough tools or functionality to analyze those types of transactions (yet).But I would argue that it does a great job at analyzing more traditional buy & hold SFRs and multi-families, as well as flips and rehab projects. 

For costs, if you're an investor, you can probably do a video walk through to get a ballpark estimate on rehab.

Does anyone know, or have a good idea, about the difference in returns on entitling & developing the land for each scenario, with final objective to sell to a builder to build and sell the structures him/herself. ...

and many who reposition big multi do the same.. they have to vacate the units they have substantial negative cash flow then it starts to come back but they get big upside value add 

This will be for my excellent service as a landlord.Just like a restaurant does when you have a party of 8 or more - they add a mandatory tip.Doubt there will be any laws against this, at least initially.

I'm from Minnesota and I have a video editing business where I can work from anywhere.
