The last 12-18 months have been a little rocky in the DSCR space for 5+ units. I find DSCR most lenders are 8 to even 9% for max leverage on 5+ right now. I know of a lender around 7.3%, but curious what everyone else...

While it may seem daunting at first, beginning with a clean slate allows you to establish clear expectations and build a strong landlord-tenant relationship from the outset.

• Crowd-sourced projects (think Crowdstreet, Fundrise, Roofstock)• Moving into investment for 2 years and sell (seems extreme and low level of confidence in strong desired results.) • BBD - Bulk everything together into one large investment, cash-out refinance, rinse/repeat (seems like ongoing work like we have today.)• NNN - purchase triple net lease opportunity (1031 everything into it, managed under trust, tenant takes care of everything) • Sell each off the normal way (even spreading out one a year, heavy tax implications and truly diminishes decades of work.) • Give/donate each away-----I expect many here have already been through similar dilemmas and interested in experiences, lessons learned.
