I've helped people with SBA loans to purchase real estate for a business, but for buying rental real estate, the DSCR loan is a much better option.

You are correct, it is common for DSCR lenders to require the borrower to be a business entity in Florida, and some other states sprinkled across the US.

I’ve had most luck with signs in front of my plaza and word of mouth - networking at Chamber of Commerce and chatting with other business owners in the area.

When we purchased our laundromat, it had a strong brand and positive reviews online.

They’ll coach you right into it being your own business that allows you to leave your W2, if that’s your goal.  

Thats how it makes sense from a business perspective.

Seen that play a few times.. this whole sub to being taught to under capitalized or starter investors who don't know what they don't know and learn this on line is just so very dangerous.

Flipping is a really tough business.

Thanks for the feedback; some quick stats: 9 doors across 4 states, about 50% LTV ratio with a Net Income of about 17% and cash on cash of about 3%.....in fairness those numbers include some overall business expenses not tied directly to one specific property.

That being said, it can be the most satisfying and cash-flow-positive business around.
