Below are some general notes on DSCR loans:* usually used for single family or 2-8 multi family unit properties (fits your scenario)* must be for investment, non owner occupied (if looking for a product for alternative qualifying solutions for owner occupied there are other products)* can close in a personal name or LLC* usually 80% LTV for a purchase (20% down payment) & usually 75-80% LTV for cash out refis* prepayment penalties vary and are optional, but the higher the prepayment penalty, the lower the rate / options typical range from no prepay all the way up to 5 year prepay and structures vary for how those penalties work (3 year is my most popular by far)* appraisal most likely required and paid out of pocket during transaction* can be used for long term, mid term, or short term rental properties * generally 1%+ is the desired DSCR ratio but you get better rates if the ratio is higher (usually rate breaks kick in at 1.15%+ or 1.25%+) and you can still get the loan done if ratio is lower than 1% but the rate will reflect that (DM me if you wand help learning how to calculate the ratio)* the average time to close is 21-30 days* fees vary lender to lender and product to product, but $1595 underwriting plus title fees is pretty standard* 700+ credit is preferred to get max LTV, but plenty of options if credit falls below that* a typical loan minimum is $75k (have limited options for $50k+) and typical loan maximum is $3-4m (have limited options for $4m+)* 3 months reserves usually required, having 6+ months will usually result in better loan terms, 0 reserves can still get the job done if you go with a program that allows you to use the cash flow as reserves* 30 year fixed, IO, and ARMS available

As a result (at least in my area) most appraisers rush this process and give something like 112% value for remodel- which is utterly ludicrous, as our remodels are enormously leveraged and should give closer to 300% value.And with these ARV based DSCR programs, you need a high ARV dollar amount, or else they further drop your LTV.

Here are my general thoughts (gonna try and approach as objectively as possible):1) Having a VA call for your CAN work, but a few requirements need to be in place: a) you need to have a proven system for them to plug into (solid lists, proven offer and results), too many newbie investors are afraid to call and think that hiring a VA is all they need to do.

For example, in Tampa Bay, I know I can sell a property all day at 80% of ARV minus repairs, so my offer would be that result minus my fee.

That’s also a very interesting and very helpful perspective on putting more down because with the rates being so high right now, it would be hard to match 8-9% in gauranteed returns.
