Highlights:* no prepay on 12 mo bridge* 6 months guaranteed interest on a 24 month bridgeThese are interest only loans and the DSCR calculation isn’t a factor in the lending decision.Compare the cost of your lower interest rate DSCR loan, including PPP versus what the bridge would cost at a higher interest rate and no or minimal PPP.PPP=pre payment penalty :)

Most of the tenants are military so rent is guaranteed with their base housing allowance. 

There's no guarantee that they will, and there's a cost to waiting. 

That's not a guarantee - some of those people may be breaking the law too - but it gives you a good idea where to start. 

There is no 100% guarantee out there.Managing your property properly and having great insurance are probably the two best ways to protect yourself.

Bob is right, you can get some high rent amounts from CMHA, but it's not always guaranteed. 

I can guarantee that over 50% of experienced hosts wouldn't survived if they started in the current market.

Higher rent, guaranteed rent payment, collections and damage you just call their commanding officer.  

Renting an individual room is all but guaranteed to be cheaper than them renting a 1/1 apartment alone.

They did, in fact, provide a money-back guarantee if it did not outperform the market in a one-mile radius, which in my case is a really well-performing area that is borderline saturated.
