I’m interested in purchasing an investment property with equity I’ve developed in my current home, however I’m concerned that if I have an issue renting out the new home it can blow up in my face.

.• That the grantor/mortgagor was insolvent at the time of the execution of the deed.An estoppel affidavit (executed and acknowledged by the grantor/mortgagor, attesting to the fairness of the transaction, the consideration exchanged, the value of the property, and other factors showing an intention to make a genuine transfer) or a recital (inserted directly in the deed) are supporting documents used to forestall challenges to these transactions.State law and local title standards must be consulted in regard to the consideration and treatment of deeds in lieu of foreclosure.What a GREAT post!   

Given the location and how the town has been developing it seems like a good investment opportunity for rentals.

Hi David,I’m just entering the flex space development space and recently joined a mentorship program to deepen my knowledge (I do have experience in commercial MF).

Have another self storage development identified.  

It's one of the hottest markets in the US right now with so much population growth, job growth, and companies moving/developing here (26B Intel headquarters being built here, 68K+ enrollment in Ohio State University, Amazon, FB, Google, Honda, Nationwide, Anduril, etc.).

You clearly have factored this in already.

Once these type investments develop a history, I can see a market similar to peer to peer lending where default rates become standardized and known.  

Hi Brett - local PM here - we have a few development projects, small multifamily and tonwhouses that we are gearing up for sale in the next 6 months.

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).
