The structure for this is a discounted sale, lease back, buy back.One of the partners is a qualified intermediary as well that understands the plumbing behind it to make it 1031 compliant.If you have any questions on that - feel free to give me a buzz.

No W2 is required for DSCR Loans - one of the main benefits as its strictly no income verification for qualifying.

These expenses can create a paper loss, which may offset other passive income or carry forward to future years.If you qualify for Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) or actively manage a Short-Term Rental (STR), the losses can be applied against your active W-2 or business income, reducing your overall tax liability.

As far as refinancing, you can either do a conventional loan where they use your debt to income / DTI to qualify or you can use a DSCR loan which structures the loan off of the rent versus income ratio.More info on DSCR loans: DSCR loans won't use your income to underwrite the loan. 

Quote from @Jose Solis: @Brandon Croucier i would be able to put around 70-75k down, and should qualify with my income what is the purchase price, and what is the timeline to develop the property?

Currently, I'm only qualifying off $80K of income so it doesn't help me qualify for a lot.It looks like Snow Removal is about $700-$1000 for a full season?

So like someone else said earlier, it might take 1-2 years for things to stabilize a little.I live in Tampa so LTR just doesn't work here, some people do rent by room which could have its own issues, but at least this is a market with more qualified tenants where people actually want to live, so I'll consider it.

For instance, FHA guidelines are very strict and restrictive when it comes to using departing-residence rental income to qualify for a new FHA loan (such as the 100-mile rule).

Sometimes you have to challenge the SOW and determine if everything really needs to be done in order to attract qualified tenants.

Aging reports would be another avenue to explore, but again, may not even have these.Lastly, while maybe this property is in a desirable area of town with strong demand from highly qualified tenants, but I get the impression this is a rough part of town, with very limited demand from tenants.
