If it's an owner occupied unit sometimes I've found the big players like state farm to be pretty competitive on price. 

@Jake Barrutia I personally see this as a huge red flag too.

Additionally, these investors can provide warnings about potential red flags, ensuring you hire reliable contractors and property managers.

A conventional loan may come in slightly cheaper, that's true, but the red tape on conventional mortgages is excessive to say the least.No Reporting on Personal Credit: DSCR loans are kept off your personal credit profile, which is perfect for keeping your personal and business credit separate.

When an NBA player makes the too little sign after dunking on someone.

that said the other issues are a red flag.  

Also, look out for red flags like neglect, possible liens, and unpermitted renovations.### FinancingMake sure you have your financial matters in order.

As Colin noted above it is hard to compete with the large players in the field.Where we found a better bang for our buck was getting on more channels like Marriott, Booking.com, and about 20 others. 

The main players in this space are Guidance Residential and UIF, but it turns out that they may just be purchasing a Freddie/Fannie loan on the back end to finance the deal and then structure it differently for the buyer - which isn't in accordance with their religious rules. 

You may also want to set some keywords around "agent" and "lender" for that market to get to know who the players are in the space that are involved in the community.
