Anyone have recommendations on ones that are actually worth it and have helped you or others you know. 

Compare my bottom line to those who claim it's fine to invest where you get a $100 a month cash flow and sometimes actually even get rent. ;-) IMHO Thank you so much for your insight.

Comps can show one thing but actually closing can be another.

It's easy to cheerlead and harder to actually DO the work.

No maintenance/cap ex, vacancy, PM, book keeping, asset protection, miscellaneous, etc.his actual cash flow when properly allocating for sustained expenses is a fraction of his advertised cash flow.  

I am curious if that is actually what happened?

I don't have a lot of background on this - just what you provided - but that actually seems like a pretty reasonable message with some valid questions. 

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

and that was owner occ.. todays rates are pretty normal actually. what you can do if you want though is find a really good HML and let them place a loan for you making 10 to 12% while your wait for things to change to a situation that you feel you want to move forward be more net return than buying a rental thats for sure. of course no tax bene's but there really is not that much tax benefit on one rental.. so just some alternatives. 

From my understanding, as long as you intend on doing a STR when you close, there are no rules against changing your strategy after closing, especially if you find that something else is more profitable.So in our case, the lender determined an STR would bring in ~$3500/month (with all of their conservative factors), but now that we operate it as a huge 3300 sqft Co-Living property, it actually brings in $7000/month.
