For example, if you have a 3-unit property on a lot that is zoned for single family or duplex, you can't count the income from the extra unit and that will lead to qualification issues down the line. 

If it's a larger organization, feel free to inquire about their different staff qualifications.2.

You should consider "DSCR" loans - they are made for investment properties (1-8 units typically) and are easy qualification (no DTI, no income verification, etc) and can allow you to scale the fastest

People do crazy things, you can't underwite that away.Consider that your qualification process needs to be uniformed, applied equally to all applicants.

If it's a larger organization, feel free to inquire about their different staff qualifications.2.

If someone is advertising "DSCR" loans up to $30M its wrong and a misnomerSo if you see that, thats more for large, more institutional multifamily properties (typically 10+ units) and yes, those loans will generally have lower rates BUT are a completely different product (typically nonrecourse, typically 5 or 10 year balloons, typically shorter amort schedule, much higher underwriting and qualification requirements etc.)

Obviously, these can change based on your actual qualifications, credit history, property appraisal report, etc... all subject to change (had to get my disclaimers in there).Happy Hunting!

I call every lead that comes through Zillow or ask FB Mktplace leads to call me and we talk about qualifications. 

I usually collect pre-qualification information on a google form after showing no cost.

Essentially, that would be my "private lender" instead of me putting up the cash or finding another private lender to lend me the down payment and other costs.I have the credit score, income qualification, and no debt, so I think I can qualify for one!
