So loan it is.A few thoughts/questions on my mind that I hope to learn as I continue my real estate journey:1.

I began shopping for a large construction loan to build a new car wash on the land. 

I’ve been working with several lenders for DSCR loans, but I’ve found that the fees are quite high, with minimal benefit in terms of lowering my current interest rate.

. - will it influence property taxes once we move to conventional loan in 3 yrs? 

Did you try a local CU or bank for a construction to permanent loan?

Traditional bank loans can be slow and have strict requirements, while hard money and private lending seem to offer more flexibility.For those who’ve secured funding before, what’s been your experience?

Use tools like the VA loan for house hacking and your Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) to cover living costs while building equity.

I would include servicing costs of the loan and licensing costs.

For those who’ve used it, what strategies or sources have worked best for you when covering the difference between your loan and the total project cost?

I answered a question yesterday by saying "DSCR loans are like belly buttons...everybody's got one."
