Keep in mind that any initial rehab costs are on you until you get your first draw.If you can get work done quickly, some lenders I’ve worked with can inspect the property the next day and wire funds the same or the following day.

So don't leave anything in an MTR that is irreplaceable.In addition to security deposits, you can also use the AirCover program for Airbnb bookings and third party services like Waivo and Safely that provide mini insurance per booking.

For someone focused on quick flips or shorter holding periods, paying a slightly higher rate for flexibility might make more sense.

I want simple - quick picture as soon as I leave the store, so I don't have to track expenses.  

About 20% use DSCR (usually 20-25% down) and the rest are cash or hard money or something else.For $325k purchase:1) As a broker I would negotiate down as its been on the market a while and its especially now in holidays)2) I would also negotiate seller paid closing cost credits, most loans allow 3% which should cover most or all of that.3) Assuming you paid $325k but got closing costs covered I would anticipate a minimum of $32,500 down and maximum $65,000 down depending on lending product chosen.4) Remember you still must furnish and I use $20/ft as a safe estimate to fully outfit an STR property.Best of luck!

The key is finding out what the seller wants as far as terms but the majority just want a quick close with the highest price. 

Given that info, I would think it makes most sense to quickly do a delayed financing to recoup most of the initial investment, or if I am wanting to get back some of the renovations and such, I should wait the 6 months and do a DSCR cashout.

If you told him you have been playing pickup games for the past year and need help improving your jump shot, now he has evidence you're motivated and a specific goal he can quickly help you work towards.

Meaning once they get properly underwritten they'll be pressing DTI limits.Those two are not going to be reason the pent up demand gets exercised; if rates drop significantly and quickly it's for a net negative reason and likely job loss so those "pre" qualified and approved are likely on shaky grounds and buyer expectation shifts happen to the one's that are extremely well qualified.
