To all the wonderful BP friends!

Scares the gang members off every time.Never cared for ARs because they are based on M-16s and M-16A1s.

I also don’t like renting really nicely rehabbed properties, most renters don’t take care of properties as well as we would hope.

I want to preserve it the best I can and I am sure there are people that exit perhaps 5 to 10 years ago and did better with a truly passive investment than with rentals.After turning 40 (I am 43 now) I keep wondering this....

I can buy a 2-4 unit with 20% down vs conventional can only buy a 2-4 INVESTMENT property with 25% down 4. there are options where DSCR loans dont repot to personal credit, helps in not having to show a bunch of paperwork or not one person in a partnership has to carry the debt5. way less paperwork to close on this loan type vs a conventional loan. we care about the income of the property you're buying and it's ability to service the debt of the property whether we use long term rents income, lease income, or air dna/bnb income.6. easily buy in partnerships, add people to your operating agreement, its as easy as that so bring partners into a deal. helps with scaling and raising capital or getting partners involved7. gift funds allowed to close on these as well, and like I said earlier, there's only a 10day seasoning period of funds with some lenders so that means you can literally have a private money lender deposit money into your account 11 days before closing, and you can use those funds to close!

@Bryan - I wonder if the one you mentioned is the same one my husband invested in.

You just need the labor cost to install both of these - but even combined with the labor cost, it makes so much more sense to do it this way.Kitchen and Bath companies are a wonderful resource for homeowners, and I'm sure some out there give super fair prices to investors!

At the end of the day, 99% of sellers and brokers only care about your surety to close (I leave out 1% that might care about HOW you operate your deals, regardless of price paid).The fact that you have never closed a large transaction AND are not providing all your proof of funds up front and/or talking with brokers about where the money is coming from, will give them some trepidation.  

You’ll want to handle this carefully to stay within the law.

I still think if you're an investor, you need to run your numbers carefully.
