I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC.

To add to what Bill Gulley posted, up to 40% of tenant's income may go toward housing expense / rent, but that means that you only can get rent above HUD's FMR of like 10% of the tenant's income. 

Right now we just have a separate personal account that houses our rental income and expenses.

Things like valet trash, cable contract reimbursements, RUBs, common area expense budgeting, proper staffing levels, AI revenue management, PPMs, subscription agreements, blue sky filings, commercial lending standards, commercial building codes and permitting, ADA compliance, etc.  

You'd have to get a quote and see how much you're willing to shell out for that since it's pretty expensive.

In 1980 a $20k duplex sounded expensive. 

The reason I am asking is because I live in Charlotte and my market is pretty expensive.

I am under contract for 3 properties, however there is one thing about it, one of them, its located in South Memphis zip 38109 (Mallory area).I know I know I live in Memphis, I know that the area is bad, however I am feeling that the market it pushing investors towards the hoods of memphis because it is getting expensive (even Frayser is getting crazy expensive which I find crazy), I did a few visits in that specific neighborhood and I honestly didn't feel it was really really bad as the rest of South Memphis, I am really not worried about tenants paying on time in my rentals because I always focus on Section8.Was wondering what are peoples insight in regards to investing in those areas with section8 tenants?

At the same time, non-necessary expenses such as entertainment and grooming services are 6% cheaper in Jackson, TN.With the cost of living in Jackson, TN being lower than both the state and national averages, along with housing prices significantly below the U.S average and low property taxes, it's no wonder that many see it as a great spot to invest in Real Estate.

The money the business pays you in salary is a deductible expense.
