Almost any time I want to learn something new I can locate a book or two or three on the subject and spend very little money to broaden my horizons.

Youtube is the second largest search engine, and has videos on basically every subject known to man.

@Matthew Kwan, he is asking why the underwriters will not allow him to use the proposed rental income from the subject property at time of purchase.

Its a tough subject because logically, they are joint and several guarantys so rationally a 100% guaranty from each of two people (one 740 one 680 for example) is ALWAYS going to be better than just one 100% guaranty from someone at 740 (so it wouldn't make sense to have a better rate for the latter)The problem is that there is fraud and "straw borrowers" out there where someone who is not involved in the property signs on to boost score and terms - so many DSCR Lenders in response either do the "non-rational" thing and price to the lower to avoid the fraud or use the higher of the two (and either be a little loose with things or just stay vigilant on any funny business)

Not only do you not save anything in interest (assuming the rates are the same), but you're also eating up your valuable credit line, which is typically a variable rate and is subject to changes in the underlying index.

Borrowing cash from another source does create a lot of risk so make sure to stick to your numbers and make the deal happen where you minimize that risk.Another option perhaps not mentioned is a wrap-style deal subject to or seller financing.

So I’m pretty close to you, once I pull some cash I have sitting in a flip that will probably turn into a brrr I’ll be about 70/30 stocks, I really don’t mind buying property provided I think for some subjective reason that area is undervalued/will outperform the market, but to me the stock market has a few advantages, 1. it is much easier obviously/more liquid. 2.

@Bridger L Logan hey, all i do is rent by the room. i have a bunch of BP blogs on the subject too. happy to help in any way that i can. 

These properties can often be acquired through creative financing methods like:Seller Financing: Negotiate flexible terms with motivated sellers who want to avoid traditional bank processes.Lease Options/Subject-To Financing: Take over a seller’s mortgage without assuming full responsibility, especially for properties needing renovation.Creative Terms: Adjust terms to fit market conditions, like offering lower down payments or longer payoff periods.Staying connected with investors and tailoring deals to current conditions can help you secure opportunities even in challenging markets.

For instance, the latest regulation in my state starts: "830 CMR 64G.1.1 repeals and replaces the regulation formerly titled as "Establishments Subject to the Room Occupancy Excise" and reflects the statutory changes enacted by St. 2018, c. 337 and St. 2019, c. 5."
