After these sacrifices you'll start to provide VALUE to other people (investors, friends, family).

Hey Nick,Are you holding your duplex as individuals/sole prop or within an entity? 

If a property is in an LLC you are almost guaranteed to pull names and numbers of people not associated with the building at all, maybe even tenants, which will also auto-populate the owner names and change them at will with these incorrect contacts....can be a pain to undue.Overall in my opinion, can be great for individual skip tracing to reference other data, not so much for a large batch and sole reliance.

Do you have a family member or friend who's achieved what you want to achieve?

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.
