While a 3.5% return seems low, the buyer profile for this asset was individuals in wealth preservation mode.

You need to look at each individual property, how old it is, what major repairs have been done and when, and what it will cost to do major repairs. 

The differentiator for individual mortgage lenders is experience, knowledge, resources and tenacity. 

The thing that I've found makes them smoother is allowing each party to close individually and early when possible. 

If a cash out refinance, many lenders will allow the cash out to satisfy the reserves requirement.DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC.
