I can do that through charging points, but since I'm getting it at a lower rate than you could as a consumer, I prefer to mark up the rate while still being lower than most others in the market.

Typically needs 20% down, but offers lower rates and you can ditch the PMI (private mortgage insurance) once you reach 20% equity.

And offset the previous FHA loan payment showing that you're making the payments for it so it lowers his DTI.

Obviously you want to lower expenses while maximizing revenue. 

That means their pricing tool is designed to price beneath the rest of the market, which drags the entire market down, especially when combined with their algorithm changes a couple years ago that made pricing (IE lower prices) the #1 factor in ranking.Even if you use an external pricing tool, it gets dragged down by the people using Airbnb's pricing. 

Are there any options for lower down payment loans in general or even for college students?

I went to every one of the 65 hearings myself and got 61 properties lower and 4 remaining the same. 

LTRs with long term conventional financing and standard management aren't really cash flowing anywhere right now. sure, there are lower cost markets that look better on paper, but there are costs associated with those supposedly cheap markets as well - deferred maintenance, more challenging tenant base, higher cost turnovers as a percentage of the rent.2. i wouldn't pick a random market thousands of miles away based solely on statistics or numbers. 

However, many DSCR lenders have a minimum loan amount of $100K, which can make it challenging for investors to secure financing for lower-priced properties. 

There are definitely options for less than $100k, just depends on how much lower - $75k is doable but less than that gets a liiiiiittle tricky (although still doable in some cases).
