This means it won’t affect your credit score or show up when you apply for personal credit in the future.Flexible Terms for Investors: Since DSCR loans are designed for investors, they tend to be more flexible in terms of documentation and loan structure, making them a smoother process compared to traditional loans.This option sounds like it could meet your goals for separating business from personal while unlocking equity in your property.

Lender had access to my savings account, DTI, credit scores, etc.I put 3% down and used the rest of my savings for the rehab.

@Christopher J FuchsTo prepare for your first real estate investment, focus on building your credit score, market research, planning your investment, networking with investors, creating a savings plan, and exploring financing options.

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+, zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680, some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

After the walk-through, they will see if the tenant has interest in renting, and if yes, they would sent them the questionnaire so they, and I quote, "save the tenant the $60 for application fee", in which within the questions it would be things such as, if they have pets, yearly income, cosigners, if credit score is above a certain number, etc.

The 700+ score means NOTHING without enough accounts to support it.

Is there a defined minimum credit score?

Both have credit scores of less than 550 and less than 60 % on-time payments.

Hi Nadia, here's a few things to consider:Credit Score: Set a minimum, like 600-650.Income: Require 3x the rent in monthly income.Employment: Verify stable employment.Rental History: Check for positive rental references.Background Check: Make sure they don't have any criminal history.Security Deposit: Typically 1-2 months' rent.Pet Policy: Decide if you'll allow pets and set fees if needed.
