These days, I'm only doing 1-yr prepay DSCR loans anyway because I expect rates to go down to where I'd want to refinance within 2 years.The other thing I did was beef up the monthly rent so that I could better qualify for the DSCR loan (but you need to use a lender that uses actual rents instead of market rents). 

Happy to discuss the product and see if you qualify.

So, I decided to drive a nearby neighborhood close to my residence, recently and document addresses of seemingly vacant distressed properties.

I have a 3/2.5 in Old Lake Highlands near White Rock Lake (~1 mile) that my family and I are living in as a primary residence, but I have been thinking about house hacking into another house and then doing a MTR on this 3/2.5.

Lawn Care: Regular upkeep, normally the tenant's job on single family residences stated in the lease.7.

Quote from @Matthew Posteraro: Me and my wife are planning on starting our investment journey by buying a multi-family home that we would live in as our primary residence.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

I got all sorts of calls, usually some were just curious, some were angry, every month someone called the police, the BBB and one time even the FBI on me, because the term "cash offer"" seemed suspicious to them - drug money LOL A place officer called me on behalf of a resident asking me to stop mailing them, to which I replied: sure whats their address and he said: he would not give me that information.. 

I recently bought a primary residence all cash and would like to put a HELOC on the property to use as a revolving line of credit for various real estate projects I am working on.

Unfortunately you will have to qualify using market rents, if you want the better rate.
