And when a rising tide is lifting all boats, groups that amplified their results by using risky high leverage could score some massive returns until the music stopped, then will subsequently struggle to keep the rest of their portfolio out of foreclosure.

I'm giving a reverse example, as in I will show how my credit score dropped 59 points in one month because I forgot to do my "trick".The trick is to pay off your entire balance the day of your "statement closing date". 

These items will vary from DSCR Lender to DSCR Lender and can also be determined by things like your credit score, property type and its DSCR ratio, etc.  3% origination cost is very high for DSCR as well unless you are essentially "buying down" the interest rate quite a bit (trading fees for a much lower rate over the life of the loan)I have also been told by multiple people that I should create an LLC or Trust.

This is my 1st post and I am so incredibly thankful that a forum like this exists and for any information to help guide me through this tough decision is so immensely appreciated! 

Your guidance has been incredibly helpful, and I now have a valuable direction to further research.

Also, your DTI can sometimes be more flexible depending on your credit score or reserves, so it’s worth asking the lender about that.If your DTI is still too high, try looking at ways to lower your monthly payments or increase your rental income.

The aesthetics are definitely a plus there are a couple of developers that have built incredibly beautiful properties in Tulum and are killing it with super high rates and high occupancy in locations that are not the best but they are rare. 

Thank you for sharing this incredible story, and I wish you continued success!
