High upfront costs and interest rates from lenders can quickly eat into profits, and funding delays can slow down projects. 

Whether it's something that eats up your time or just feels like a never-ending task, I'd love to hear your thoughts! 

Also, do your research on emotional support animals as that too has gone "rampant" in Columbus this year - you have to allow them but, you need to know the guidelines, rules etc.

This extra scope of work make it over budget and start eating profits.

I can go to Mexico (Yucatan) and spend less than $200/day and have an amazing time, in awesome hotels, eating fantastic authentic food, drinking until I'm wasted and going on multiple excursions. 

There are animals on the walls everywhere and it is very distracting. 

There still is a tendency for DSCR Loans in particularly to get lumped in (throughout securitization) with other "Non-QM" loans, mostly owner-occupied when they really shouldn't be in my view, further a lot of the "tech" and software, systems buildout (including loan doc generators) are based on consumer resi which creates a lot of headaches.Anything rehab/construction related though (which is what the original post appears to be more about) is a different animals though - experiences are likely to vary markedly by market, lender, bank etc quite a bit

I’d hang onto it with that 3% rate if you can afford to eat that 1k/month.

Animal control could be called on the neighbor.. and I'd make it a point to do just that. 

These were largely sourced pre-CV19, so eat the fish and spit out the bones.The DTI percentage range varies by lender, and is less than what you will find for an owner occupied property, due to lender risk.
