@Linda Weygant Yes agreeing with @Montse C. here that this first needs to be discussed by the governing bodies and most likely will get tackled or at least in part tackled as it makes no sense.

I would like to branch into commercial leasing with a government client niche (solar farm land and datacenter leasing too).

I have this theory that basically the stock market can grow faster than the fundamentals more so than housing, reason being when people put money into their 401k or whatever they are just throwing money in, not looking at p/e or whatever, the stock market is in part just an index of Americans excess savings plus it’s a unstated policy of the government that stocks go up, where as housing people are obviously very very aware of how much thier monthly payments is/ how much rent is, plus it seems that is actually a push to lower housing prices at least relative to inflation.

Exhaust all of your conventional or government financing options before you get into DSCR. 

What Schedule can not do is contradict itself and it will always be over-ruled or governed by the LTB.

Some of the CoC are so low (and some of the projected appreciation is also low) that I ask myself, why wouldn't I just invest in government bonds instead.

Unless you believe that our government should and will provide free education for all.Give to charities.
