Yes, Darren, it can apply to SFR, STR and small multi-families as well as major developments, manufacturing facilities, office buildings, medical buildings, etc.

Jacking up a 100 year old house with significant settlement is an exercise in futility, in my opinion.

You can also do this same exercise with DSCR lenders and mortgage brokers on Bigger Pockets.

Oil & Gas, Banking, Insurance, Tech, Medical, Airline, Distribution and more.
