Quote from @Greg Loberg: I have been a lender on many notes through Safeguard Capital Partners over the last 5+ years. 

Due to the popularity and scarcity of these properties in Nashville, it would be difficult to find a property meeting the STR requirements given a proposed purchase price of ~$300-350k.Additionally, your situation is a bit unique as it sounds like you may be living away from your primary residence more often than not, and as such, I also recommend you confirm with a lender whether this situation would qualify for this type of (primary residence) loan.

Each program is a little different so it just depends on your situation and income.They are quick and easy though once you get your certificate you can work with any Bank or Lender that is approved to use those DPA's.

Lenders may count eligible assets as additional qualifying income by dividing eligible assets by 60.🔹 Example in Action:Rental income: $9,000PITI: $9,500 → DSCR <1 (not qualifying)Using $63,000 in assets → Adds $1,045 in incomeNew DSCR >1 → Higher LTV (80% instead of 75%)🔹 Why This Matters:✅ Helps investors qualify for better financing✅ Increases borrowing power and flexibility✅ Allows you to scale your portfolio fasterUnderstanding financing tools like this can be a game-changer for investors looking to maximize opportunities.

local PM and happy to help with connecting you with agents, contractors, lender etc. and running analysis on investment property.

Yes you can use commission as sourced funds for down payment on a conventional loan.However some lenders have internal overlays that don't allow it.

Whenever I ask lenders about it, they say they don't hold foreclosures.
