Hello BiggerPockets Community,I’m currently in the process of expanding my real estate portfolio and am looking to establish relationships with hard money lenders who can offer the most competitive and lowest rates available in the market.I am a business owner with $1.5 million in verifiable funds.

Hi all,My goal is to buy my first investment property in the next 12 months - house hack a small multifamily in or near Tempe - if the numbers work. 

Is there a DSCR loan available for refinancing self-storage properties in the $700,000 to $1 million range with a reasonable interest rate of 6.5% to 8%, or are DSCR loans only for residential investments?

It's all paid off but rates are high so I'm not thinking re-fi at this time. 

Locals who live there and are right on top of these lower end units can make a go of it but out of state very tough unless you buy above the median price point of a given MSa and in the best school districts full stop.. this is where your best tenants will be.. houses are interchangeable.

Open to out of state investing - consider buying near some of the larger military bases and take advantage of military personnel utilizing their housing allotment to pay rent. 

I was told that they have an IN-HOUSE CPA who would be more than willing to assist my CPA OR do the taxes themselves.Question after question I'm being told that my CPA needs to use his "own best judgement" rather than rely on advice from the firm that setup the entities to begin with.I think all potential clients need to be very mindful that Royal Legal Solutions WILL NOT back you up with your CPA when you go to file your taxes.

The tiny houses would be so much cheaper than new builds but will like to know the average lifespan of a tiny house.
