Here’s a quick break down.I can’t get approved for a loan because my DTI is about 5% too high with the property.

Hi @Adam Pervez New Jersey has very high taxes, with that comes very high rents. 

I spend the money to buy in high quality neighborhoods with high demand for rentals ... as such I have never once had a good tenant leave because I have raised rent, and if that ever were to happen I would have absolutely no issue replacing them with another good tenant in short order.

Another reason to raise rents if you go to sell the property it will be harder for a new investor to get a DSCR loan because the rental income is not high enough for the purchase price. 

If you're considering venturing into the realm of flipping properties, Fayetteville, North Carolina presents a promising landscape.Fayetteville, NC, stands out not only for its robust housing market but also for its exceptional quality of life and economic resilience, drawing a continuous influx of skilled professionals and military personnel.

Unless you have a very high income it is pretty risky to invest in additional properties when your portfolio currently takes money out of your pocket.

Best case on a DSCR is usually high 6s/low 7s and up right now depending on the scenario.

But, it also means more work in managing, tricky loan processes, higher start-up costs, and the risk of market changes.Lubbock, with its high need for rentals and low-cost living, is a top spot for duplex buyers.

I'd recommend pushing density to 3 or 4 they all finance the same. we picked 3 because of the 35' height allowance in our area. here is a rendering to help paint the picture. our target appraisal value is 550k on the first few and pushing them to more than 600k as we sell some or keep them but if you are the only one building multifamily it's important to highlight the importance of appraisal and selling or disposing of some assets to create comparable to be used. our market has very little 2-4 units built because of economies of scale we are the only builder doing this style and we control the full process and it is a high barrier to entry where we are at. we are able to build at a lower cost now than almost buying a duplex because they are so small. each one is 668 sq ft total of 2004 sq ft.
