Andrew is my preferred lender and fellow investor I used for my DSCR (and traditional loans) loan for rental properties.

The returns that investors require is generally based on their perceived risk of the project and the investment period.With my CFO clients who do real estate development, most LPs in the small-scale residential space (SFR & 2-4 MF) are investing for 3-5 years and are looking for a preferred return of 8% with an IRR of 16%-18% for turn-key and 18%-24% for value add.
