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.

So when I use that formula I get: .69$2000 (on a more typical non loss year) + $381127 (principal remaining, 5/2050 mature date) + 470000 (~ appreciation) = 853,127/($850,000 (property value) - $381,127 (principal remaining)) = .69That is what i get with that formula but I do not understand the differnce between "mortgage paydown and "debt" as aren't those the same thing?

You should use a FHA combined with a value-add to force some equity into the property right upon move in, while parting with very little cash and maybe using the difference to buy a rental with a typical 20% down loan product.
