They also give you a list of questions to ask the bank when you are qualifying which product is best for you (so you can compare apples to apples).

the cap rate for single family in san jose is maybe 1-2% ; DSCR is 0.25 ; but with very creative strategy we can make it into 0.8-1.1 but the key is using more tenants per unit, also home that has basement and ADU like me, the unit can be rented and while my dscr is above 1.0 but banks can't use it so we kinda stuck to leverage but this creativity of multiple tenants per single family.i am now trying 40 year IO program from one of the lenders such as yours to quality, also i will try no-ratio DSCR at some point.Seriously, by combining hefty cash position + flip program + rent out to multiple tenants ; and sell it few years later, this is the less riskiest project we can do as landlord/flipper.

Make sure you get a formal term sheet to compare apples to apples, don't accept soft quotes. 5.
