These are popular programs among investors because they do not report to credit agencies, use DTI to qualify, and do not require tax returns or income verification.You can use a DSCR loan to purchase or cash-out refinance, a strategy commonly referred to as BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat).

@Federico SarcinaRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I greatly appreciate it and all the detail you included.I'll check out the references you provided for leads.

There is no way I would refer to all time most expensive or least affordable in over 40 years as a buyers market (note this is not to imply that it is a great sellers market).However, this is not my main concern about purchasing most MLS properties in this market.

A place in Europe that is on an island will generally not going to be that much different than a place in the same country on the continent in terms of vibe.Back to the Americas, I mentioned the Caribbean because I was referring to "island".

"the borrower is not using rental income from the applicable property to qualify" - does borrower here refer to the seller applying for a new loan or the buyer of the subto deal?
