Purchase price: $40,000 Cash invested: $60,000 We rehabbed a Historic home that was sold to us by a neighbor knocking on the door.

As others have also noted, DSCR loans are separate from rehab loans which are often structured as hard money loans bundled with the upfront purchase.We fund both hard money for the purchase + rehab as well as long-term DSCR loans for the cash out refinance in BRRRR projects.

In those situations, focus on value-add opportunities—like rehab, repositioning, or optimizing expenses—that can increase the return on your investment.Keep in mind, the 1% rule is just a quick filter.

Rehab costs were higher than estimated.

All their clients tried to blame us for not being able to:1) Do the rehabs on the budget advertised2) Get the rents they were promisedCheck out our website and DM us if you'd like more info or discuss the proper way to invest in Detroit:)

For instance, a worksheet calculator that you can depend on for accurate rehab numbers, a coach or mentor that has experience wholesaling whose brain you can pick, a curious, principled solution-based mindset, willingness to find sellers that are NOT on the market, and for good measure -- steal underpants!

Join off-market Facebook groups and local RE investor FB groups to get more local information about potential off-market properties, and find investor-friendly RE agents who are willing to work with you.I would recommend for a first deal at least to get something closer to home, easier to get back and forth to for your own sanity, ability to check on either construction or tenants, address repair and maintenance issues.

The cost of construction as opposed to buying another rehab property most likely makes this unfeasible, but it's worth digging deeper.
