Hi Mathew,We live in Greensboro, which area of Greensboro is the house located in?

Larger more expensive houses have lower occupancy and smaller cheaper ones are higher. 

Hey Dan, renting to a sober living operator can be a great idea.

We live in a world where PR matters to EVERY business out there.

It’s certainly going to be more expensive than if it was done right the first time but this can’t be a big deal in the scope of a full gut.

I'm quite not 100% on wether or not if I purchase my first investment property where I currently live (Virginia) (*which I will be*). should I also gain my license here since I'll have a property within Virginia.

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).

(Maybe the seller has a great interest rate, but you would have to pay twice that amount which wouldn't be profitable.)11) Crime in the neighborhood. 12) High turnover in tenants (raising your expenses.)

.- If interest rates remain high, this is further upward pressure on rents in the near-term, as the alternative to renting - buying a home with a mortgage, is expensive - this should increase demand for rentals. - Rents are also a function of supply - 2024 saw the most new construction of multifamily units in American history (nearly 575,000 estimated 2024 deliveries of new multifamily inventory), and 2025, while not a record setting year, will see deliveries top 500,000 again - a huge supply increase. 

It was a small $$$ project but time consuming because that was something I DIY'd while living in the property.
