If this is financing for a stabilized property rate carries more importance but rate combined with origination fees, pre-payment penalty and term in which you intend on keeping the loan in place are all considerations which together should help in deciding the best financing option.

Some lenders offer this option, while others might prefer to handle each property individually.It will come down to the lender’s criteria, such as combined value, rental income (if applicable), and your financial profile. 

@Natali Cobb  I recently switched over to providing the washer / dryer to start, but say they're responsible for any additional maintenance. 

To avoid problems, it’s best to add these locks after the appraisal on a turnkey purchase or after the refinance is complete.Also, most DSCR lenders will assess the property’s market rent as a single unit rather than the combined rents of individual rooms.

My cash flow with those two paid off properties was only around $1500/month combined.

Eventually, the supply of essentially free house and/or suckers runs out, or law enforcement catches on, or some combination of those factors.

Some of the investors I follow like I know have a combination of both it seems like. 

I have a lot of experience with STRs being a superhost for over 10 years and I believe I can bring in 200k for these houses combined. 

Combine this with the deliberate targeting of unsophisticated investors or those without the resources to run ordinary diligence and you have a winning recipe.

Understanding the numbers is key to knowing whether a project will be successful or if it’s better to walk away.That said, it’s also true that every market is different, and combining a solid business approach with lifestyle goals can create unique opportunities.
