If you're strictly buying turnkey properties and financing with DSCR loans, keep in mind that you'll typically need to put down 20% or more, and because of the higher LTV, you’ll often get the highest interest rate available for your credit bracket.

We bought the property at below market rate because the seller was motivated and needed to close quickly.

Because the interest rates were so low, I was able to keep the same mortgage payment cost we had before but for both houses with a shorter term! 

FEMA implemented Risk Rating 2.0 in 2021.

If you offer first, I would factor worst case on rehab and offer based on that.

Cash is always going to be king, but the delta is definitely more pronounced in higher interest rate environments.

They aim for 0% interest on all cards, for the first 9-12 months.

First off, the cash-out refinance requirements have gotten tighter w/ the "seasoning" period.

I can buy down the interest rate.

I live here and househack as well - can provide a first hand perspective.
