I want to make sure I have the right information before presenting to a private lender and moving forward with an investment. 

Every state that I've been in has a few basics1. minimum sq footage for a bedroom, the room itself (usually 70 to 80 sq ft)2. closet present in bedroom3. a window in bedroom4. not in basement, and if in basement, must have exit window of a certain size.5.

If you are quoted something else from a lender presenting it as a "DSCR" loan, you should tread carefully, as something fishy is likely going on

It's also important to ensure your property is presented well with professional photographs and possibly a virtual tour.Additionally, expanding your marketing to social media, real estate forums, and local community boards could help increase visibility.
