Good news is that most lenders have compressed margins in some fashion ... if you are dealing with a reputable lender.  

I’ve seen many small SFHs in Fayetteville where someone ripped out the tub in favor of a nice, tiled shower.

I am just not sure how to attract out of state investors in any fashion.

The numbers seem to be in our favor, as well as some changes to local zoning.

Even with a balloon, my guess is they'll be more favorable than DSCR. 

For well qualified borrowers there are some very favorable financing terms available..for example a client recently secured a turn-key Triplex that should return at least $15-20k NET annually with a TOTAL of $50k down payment.

Good thing is the rules have changed in the recent years to favor the Landlord.

MA landlord/tenant laws are biased WILDLY in favor of the tenant. 

My thought with 'using up' the FNMA 10 loan limit before I do any more commercial loans is that I do not want to 'take up' the '10 property limit' with all commercial loans, that even thought they are easier to get are at way less favorable terms than the FNMA ones are. 

I also noted at the bottom of the notice the section of the lease that stated if attorney fees were involved and I the landlord was found in favor that she would owe me all fees acquired.
