I am on the lending side of things and always happy to discuss shop and various funding options out there, even if not within my resource pool.Cheers!

If you need an option that isn't as document heavy, a DSCR cash-out might be a viable option if it's an investment property.

Some people will do this with one building, then after a year go out and repeat the process with another property.

Happy to connect and share whatever resources I can to help you get the ball rolling this year! 

Some of my most recent client closings have been a turnkey 3/1 single family house for $120k and $5k in rehab needed and currently rented out for $1550/mo to section 8.

Also, what should a new investor be aware of when diving into this market?

Will this be a more lucrative long term move than just buying an existing duplex or is this needlessly complicatedThanks It's needlessly complicated.

In Charlotte, I'd personally on South End, NoDa, Plaza Midwood, Dilworth, Elizabeth, Uptown, or areas a bit further out like Ballantyne. 

Generally, the biggest difference is that DSCR Loans often have prepayment penalties attached which typically will have a 1%-5% fee if you prepay the loan within the first five years so its the "risk" of having to pay a little extra fee if you sell or refinance the property pretty early on.PS - check out this series of 10 articles published on BP on all things DSCR Loans which can give you a full rundown on everything you would need to know when using this type of loan!
