DSCR Loans can finance property types that conventional loans cannot (non-warrantable condos, condotels, unique properties or mixed use properties...)Jay was going to say those things as other Ifs i am pretty sure!

I've been focusing on fourplexes as a first investment to spread vacancy risk but the inventory in my driving area is pretty low.

You could automate underwriting pretty easily, as well as scraping and feeding data into an underwriting AI.

Thanks - I saw that and its definitely something I would be pretty open to subscribing to once I wanted to start and it isn't overly pricey.I saw it has some intro information as well, but not sure if anyone has recommendations on books/reading for this area for some of the more detailed risks/points to evaluate?

@Steve Tse, depending on what you are wanting review on this could be a pretty simple ask (15-20 minutes) or a very big ask (3-4 hours).  

Seem to have pretty good rtp ratio.

I've been in contact with them and some of the replies have been "unfortunately it can be slow depending on the area and the time of year" and "the timeline for how long a property remains on the market can vary, as it depends on the specific situation", in other words some pretty vague answers.

I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong. 

Hello All, I joined Bigger Pockets pretty recently, and I am excited to learn as much as I can from those further along in their journey than me, while also being able to help those that I can.

It's a pretty murky niche and everyone does it a little differently, so we don't want to give platform to anyone that may give risky advice.
