The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Personally I like to build with cash to avoid the extra expenses, so I dont actually finance anything until its done and I have decided to hold it.

A link to FilePlace is at the bottom of every page, making it easy to find.If you have technical issues, email support@biggerpockets.com, and someone will help you.

It's still early but we're expecting tenants to use the service for 9-18 months, and about 45% to also order the extra reporting of their previous rent payments which costs ~$20-25.

Also, if anything were to go wrong I wouldnt have the capital available to pay extra on a property every month. 

Make sure it can handle the extra capacity before you get too far along.

They can be great tools for funding acquisitions and supporting the BRRR strategy, especially for multifamily properties. 

But with the second home the $600 in extra rental income is enough to pay towards an equity loan.

I have down an owner financed deal in 2024 and still actively use a HELOC in support of my flipping.  

To echo the rest of the group, if you're planning on holding the property, a DSCR is likely your best bet, assuming your investment property is in a rental area that supports the debt service.
