Thank you, @Simon Lloyd for the welcome.

Quote from @Robin Simon: Quote from @Dan N.: Just got off the phone with a lender that was interviewed recently on Dave Meyers' podcast.Had some of the best terms I have come across so far for DSCR loans.BUTThey DO NOT allow you to do ANY renovations (maximum paint) to the property, even if you finance the renovations with your own funds (as opposed to adding it to the loan).Is this normal?

@Colin Simon Welcome to Bigger Pockets.

Quote from @Roger Simons: So another way may be to use that huge rental revenue as personal income to qualify for a higher mortgage. 

Anyway, I went to college and got my BS in Finance from RIT and then my MBA in Fiance from the University of Rochester, Simon Business School. and have been involved in real estate since the late 80's first as a commercial banker and then started in the appraisal field during the early 90's when refi boom was going on during that time. 

Hi @Simon Nguyen , Welcome to BP!

I agree with Simon.
