Also, have you made any significant alterations to the property or if it were put on the market today, would it be indistinguishable from a standard 4-bedoom house (are there any extra walls for the SRO, constructed locks/barriers etc.)If its a standard SFR and the leases are very short term - there is a path that you could refinance this with a DSCR as basically a Short Term Rental and then potentially change strategic course back to SRO if needed at a later date

You all went CHEAP and have hopefully learned a lesson:)Area where I was vetting them the prices were standard 10% monthly rent with $75 min and 50% first month rent.  

Just trying to wrap my head around the differences of if we got a standard mortgage up front vs. private equity and then paying that off by getting a conventional mortgage after seasoning. 

Secondly a 7% rate with 1-2 points depending on LTV, FICO, DSCR, and prepayment penalty does sound fair/market standard.

The costs involved in renovating a distressed property to the same standard as constructing a new home on an empty lot may ultimately amount to a similar total investment.

Standard PPL (Pay Per Lead) companies will sell them between $150 - $750 a pop.2.

When you engage with a new vendor, have it be a standard procedure that this worksheet or packet be filled out with documents provided before you will engage their services.

They’re not standard where I live, but prospective tenants are thrilled to hen my units have them and don’t mind paying higher rent.

The higher you go in price, the ratios get too hard to make it work without leaving as much money in the deal as you would a standard down payment.
