Thanks in advance and have a great day!

If I am aiming for the national tenant, what kind of TI per sqft shall I expect, how much security deposit I shall collect and  how many month of rent I shall ask tenant to pay advance to execute the lease (1st and last month of rent or more)?

We need this house rented to lower our DTI.We want to buy small MTF in the future to househack in CA using low downpayment maybe FHA loan.Thank you in advance

Thanks in advance for any help/guidance.

It's more of a worst-case-scenario schedule.We inspect in advance to get a feeling for how the tenant may leave the property.

But after further research I could do the same arbitrage lol, so cash-flow is not really problem for me right now.I think one good aspect of real estate is that because it's always in short-supply,so even the low-educated homeowner is almost always win and we don't need to be very advanced in financial/engineering like in equity investment. 

@Felicia Walker, while I have limited experience using lenders on flips, I will say my experience mirrors yours: some require very detailed reporting of costs of completed work, some are a little more "general" accounting.  

How do I go about only reporting the interest earned instead of the entire amount on the 1099nec?

If it is there’s almost no chance of getting them turned on unless you add an addendum agreeing to pay all costs and submitting the funds in advance. 

A couple other points to mention would be that someone could purchase up to 5 investment properties with this loan structure if they qualify, and that this is only available for SFR, not MF properties.It might help if I shared exactly how I personally used this portfolio loan to advance my investment goals.This is one of many unique lending options available today that is good for investors to evaluate if it fits their goals.So here is what I did:After running the numbers of putting 25% down on one investment property, I chose to purchase 5 similar properties with the same 25% down.
