Does any lenders offer these DSCR loan terms?

That being said, liability is often the biggest concern with short-term rentals, and the underwriters have agreed to offer a general liability only policy." maybe dodged a bullet.

- If you are putting an offer in on a property to get that property under contract, part of the contract is that you put up earnest money.

It takes dedicated resources to build out and to do effectively at scale.

BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor.

I like VAs for writing a bunch of offers - I am having my VA do offers, emailing lists, and texting lists if I can find a good text system where its allowed lol. 

We built a single family home version of a 2 bed 1 bath with surface parking at cost with no profit all in with land for 175k in newark ohio, a suburb of columbus ohio. when we push that to 3 units and closer to the city for our build to rent model the numbers go way better. a 30k slab for a single family home is 30k, a 30k slab for a triplex is 10k a door. we designed a 2 bed 1 bath design at 668 sq ft and it's very good layout even I would live there, but I would never build anything that small again. there's no economies of scale. you need density and shared lines, resources, shared roof shared slab, shared windows, etc the cost goes way down.
