For example do you have a US based credit card, any type of USA loans you are paying, like car note, cell phone bills, electric bills?

Depending on the amount being raised, there is Reg D 504, 505, 506B, and 506c.  

Do you raise rent yearly and by how much?

I was raised to be a "giver", but that has caused me to allow others to use me periodically.

Home Depot was easy to work with and they ended up lowering their initial price for my kitchen from 2900 to 2100 and gave me a $200 Home Depot gift card for the number of problems we had with missing parts.

For DSCR we only require LLC docs if in an LLC , drivers license, SS Card if available if not ss89 can be signed, we don't ask for any info on any other properties owned by the borrower, we dont source or require seasoning on funds.

Unless you can do that I would start paying off my 401k debt and learn to raise private capital. expansion is good, but you are trading a lot of net worth for cash flow. learn to leverage outside capital so you're adding to equities rather than shuffling them.

We've seen seller financing come back in a big way, and I think it will continue as debt continues to be challenging.Syndication, raising capital for less experienced operators, and those who have challenging deals, will be more difficult in this part of the cycle.What tools/strategies are you using to close deals today?

I can muster my own capital + leverage but it would not be quite enough I think (and my wife might kill me).My instinct is to raise capital hell-or-high-water and refi later upon completion with a DSCR. 

A portion of it to reserve for refinancing and most of it to pay off credit cards and prior debt.
