A "total reno" can mean it's all original and very outdated but livable or it can be an absolute disaster with foundation issues and sewer and water problems.

Regarding your lender pool, are you going to residential lenders that happen to dip their toes in the water of DSCR?

I hope you or someone is at least keeping an eye on your properties for break ins, squatters, roof leaks, temperature control, frozen pipes (if in cold climate), if you have a basement and sump pump goes out leading to water damage etc.I just talked to two investors in California that have let their properties sit vacant (no mortgages so paying property taxes and insurance).

Delaware Water Gap is more of a weekender, but can work.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make the horse learn math.

They are my favorite, because they are cheap and snap together higher, which better protects from splashing water.

For example: Landlord will pay for electric, water and sewer charges up to $100 per month.

doors need to be power washed, gutter needs to discharge further from foundation (deck is uneven and breaking, possibly due to water erosion?)

Win / win.Stay warm!

It will be quicker I am assuming and will save money on my construction loan interest as a result but want to hear some other thoughts from others with more experience with new builds.for some context I am in Dutchess county ny, property has public sewer/water.
