I plan on using DSCR loan and have a pre-approval.

If STR regulations come to the area, my plan is to do MTR and while it is not as much revenue as STR, I should be able to generate a decent return over a 5 year minimum hold. 

For that reason, I am planning to list it myself vs. using my broker and paying a fee.   

We have separately been involved in investment real estate for several years, and we are now planning to start a new business together with intent to invest in long-term multi-unit rental properties in the Carolinas. 

I have also aquired vacant lots that I plan on building duplexes on...

I am planning on changing that this year as well.

TIA all opinions welcome I’d start with talking to the planning department of that municipality to see what the property is zoned for and what the allowed uses are in that zoning. 

@Oliver Martinez you could have used the "@name" format to include everyone you wanted to reach out to on a single response, instead of entering 6 copies of the same message:)Unless you plan to live in the property (owner-occupied) you will typically need at least 20-25% down to get a mortgage - unless you find a private investor to fund your acquisition.Also, as you've found, most of these lenders have minimum loan amounts of $75k-$100k.Unless you are a VERY experienced investor, we don't recommend buying rentals in the City of Detroit under $80k.

My plan is to purchase single family homes and rent them out using the BRRRR method.  

(Most homes have been turned into str) The zoning should be changed by the end of the month.Our plans is to build 34 2/1s, 5 2/2s and 5 1/1 loft style apartments.
