His current monthly Payment Breakdown:- Principal: $314.66- Interest (3.875% rate): $578.779- Escrow: $700.79-TOTAL monthly payment: $1,594.24Estimated rental income: $1.2k - $1.6k per month.Would love to somehow capitalize on the existing fixed rate, but at his current monthly payment and the estimated rent it doesn't seem like a great opportunity for cash flow.

One extra principal payment every month.

After more than 24 months, following the terms of the agreement I gave SCOTT CARSON (Inverse Asset Fund) the appropriate notice to dissolve the joint venture, return principal and interest owed to me.

In order to MAINTAIN equity with an amortized note, you will have to reinvest the principal part of the P & I payment you receive each month. 

Same principal applies - your agent can't do their job if you cut them out of the loop.

With asset based or DSCR (debt service coverage ratio) loans or rental specific loans, lenders calculate the income by the PITI (principal, interest, taxes and insurance) to qualify for the mortgage loan.

The projection was that we would get our principal back plus about $30K. 

Obviously paying interest on underutilized capital is sub-optimal but when factoring in the cumulative proposed transactional savings, the annual total interest cost could be equivalent or lower than the net of an alternative home equity line of credit on the same principal loan amount.One 'hack' could be to delay the actual closing of the DSCR loan until a quality purchase prospect is identified and/or near under contract.

We did not fund the last few million of the raise, so we are allowing the final slots to come in at up to 20% APR, fixed annual simple deferred return (deferred means you get all of your interest earnings at the end when we repay your principal – and that happens when we finish building and then sell the apartment complex).This asset is our safest MF asset, in my opinion, BECAUSE the project is backed not just by our equity in the apartments – but by our equity in the entire 54-acre land development.

This criteria is for 1-4 and 5-8 unit programs.I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).
