If a tenant passes your requirements—credit score, income, background checks, and landlord/job verification—then I typically charge just the security deposit plus the first month’s rent.

I'd imagine the interest rate plays a large role in what discount is given, along with house value, down payment and credit score of mortgagor.

The interest rate they gave me at us 7.70%, 5/1 ARM, rent to debt service ratio is 1.21My credit score is 672.

There are 80% LTV cash out refinance options and 85% LTV for a single family rental purchase if the property is cash flowing (DSCR ratio of 1) and the credit score is high enough.

I only scored a 19 on the ACTsLet's just agree that from now on, all forum posts are just about my tone in the forums. :)

My score is 810 with no debt.  

: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.

@Brett Jurgens I am not sure it should be a climate score, I think it should be a disaster score. 

What you can also do is take a look at any high interest credit cards that you can consolidate to maximize the monthly savings and reduce monthly total debt.Cash out refinance is tax free and cannot be touched or taken back but a Heloc can be reduced or closed if you miss a payment, credit score drops, or your DTI increases.

You'll want to collect research that goes far beyond the documents and reports provided by the sponsor.I'd work my way down this list when looking at the buildings: Specific to the properties: Acquisition Costs, Environmental Reports, Appraisals, Property Condition Reports, InspectionsBecause these are likely commercial properties, much of the value is connected to the tenant, so evaluating the tenant becomes crucial: Conditions of Leases (duration, escalations, extensions), Balance Sheets, Competitors, Historical Performances, Credit Scores, Macro TrendsLocal market factors that you are used to pulling: population density, population growth, unit type inventory and growth (multifamily), median income, etc...Financing terms: interest rate, principle paydown plan, cash sweep options...Offering model: management plan, operations, asset management, exit strategy.Sponsor track record: Every sponsor has a list of the previous offerings within the PPM.
