Phillip Dakhnovets Age old question: Cashflow vs Appreciation
19 September 2024 | 13 replies

Timothy OConnor DSCR Lenders willing to take a second position
21 September 2024 | 7 replies
DSCR Loans in second position is not a thing - you might find a DSCR Lender that have other products that fit this need, like a Closed End Second or HELOC, but they aren't really "DSCR Loans" - I think you are likely looking for a CES (it is true however that you are correct in looking at the same place though, most of the lenders offering this on rentals are also DSCR Lenders)

.- A hot tub that isn't wired correctly because you hired the housekeeper's husband to do it for you for 50 bucks.- The shiny new barbeque grill that you had the housekeepers place on the wood deck next to the railings.- That quirky, and warm, light switch that you didn't notice because you haven't been to the property in a year.- The shower that you noticed is awfully hot but failed to check into it more before you left.And so on.
