As far as my personal investments, I have mainly focused on multifamily - but I do have commercial retail and office investments.

Houses that sustained fire events have long term consequences including structural damage and mold that results from water intrusion required to extinguish the fire.

This includes endless content on how to better create content.

Showing a level of expertise to do something hard or exciting certainly piques the interest of a guy with money and no RE experience.We lived in Houston and self managed properties in Oregon and Maine that we snuck away to in the summer.

Once billed, those in violation of the policy won't be able to rejoin BiggerPockets, including prohibition of the use of the agent/lender finder tools, forums, and private messaging system until their bill is paid. 

Quote from @Jaycee Greene: If you go the conventional/DSCR route, these are considered "Commercial" loans and the properties are referred to as "Non Owner-Occupied" and, as such, the cash flow of the property is most important, and your DTI is not generally included in the underwriting.

That's amazing that it included the TPA connection for the same price.  

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).

I read it a lot of different places including on bigger pockets.

The main reason is other buyers who are better able to pin down operating costs will either outbid you because they have their costs right, or you'll outbid them because you have your costs wrong.
