@Robert Spiegel Great question, and it’s always a balancing act when dealing with long-term tenants who’ve been fantastic overall.Based on my experience managing over 1,200 rental homes in North Texas, including areas like Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, and Frisco, here’s how I would approach this:Cleaning Charge: While $540 may feel steep, it can vary depending on the size of the property and local market rates.

Property includes: (2 buildings)The large old building with main level office previously a dental office and potential for build out second floor of (1)-1br efficiency apartment, (3)-2br/1bath.

Please advise.ThanksMel I'd recommend a local Independent Agency that has access to multiple markets including surplus lines

If the loan officer asks for just personal debts, then don't disclose any business debts including debts on real estate that if that debt was qualified for by the business.2.

The Homeowners Insurance will include Builder's Risk. 

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).

The home is 4bed/3bath and 1990sqftFinishes= quartz countertops, fully tiled showers, 8ft doors, LVP flooring throughoutFinancing isn't included in Gross Margin. 

It may be easier to include utilities in the rent.

It essentially includes having a buyer for a specific property BEFORE entering  in a contract with a seller.  

I have clients (including myself) who invest here and out of the area.
