Next time I go visit an OOS mentor, I'll take them out to lunch/dinner, costs way less than $5000 to $18,000 than what these programs charge.

If you can qualify using your income I would avoid DSCR but again its not the end all they have value.DSCR single family requires 15% down, 2-4 Units require 20% down, they offer 5/6 ARMS, 30 & 40 Year fixed and I/O Interest only options which can help cash flow first few years.

Its a gamble to go the permit route or not in Philly and absolutely matters the neighborhood/your neighbors as they are usually the folks that will call L&I on you OR if your property is near other construction sites where inspectors would be traveling to/from.

This can be done by using sites like AirDNA, or by clicking on Airbnb/VRBO and seeing what similar properties are renting for and how booked they are at what rates. 

However, the possibility the former owner or one of the lenders will claim service was improper is one of the reasons title insurers are reluctant to allow a policy to be issued w/o a quit title action being completed first.It's a good idea to ask the title agent for a commitment that will show the requirements for the issuance of a policy w/o exception for other interests.

We can meet at any of my sites or yours.

Locally, I know an investor that runs a crazy profitable trailer park where he is probably pulling in a 20%+ annual return on his investment - but he has to self-manage because no one will touch it, collects rent and deals with evictions armed, and has several "overseers" living for free on site to make sure no one burns the park down.
