I have refinanced (rarely mind you as there are costs that take years to recoup on a refi) and am happy to see equity build as the mortgage shrinks.

If you see utilities increasing, is there a way that you can push this on to the tenant?

I’d love to hear your thoughts and maybe exchange ideas on how we can leverage these advancements. 

I learned enough (in summary) what they needed to do their job in getting my funding to make it easier on myself.

Personally, I'm incredibly ignorant on the subject compared to others, but find it fascinating.

Quote from @Mark Lewis: Hello,I am looking to build a network and connect with some other investors in the Belleville, Illinois area and get some feedback on anyone in the market.

DSCR loans let you qualify based on the rental income of the property rather than traditional income verification.

The mortgage would stay under the seller's name.The buyer could then rent out the unit, renovate, etc. to increase cash flow or make more money.But aside from a possible "due on clause" being called by the mortgage company, what's the benefit to the seller?

I once bought a house that had been on the MLS for over a year.

Feel free to pm if you need more assistance.
