DSCR loans don't require personal income verification or a debt-to-income ratio, making them ideal for properties with strong cash flow, even if the current owner has credit issues.Here's how it could work:You could use a DSCR loan to refinance the hard money loan, securing more favorable terms without having to involve the seller's credit.Since the rental income easily covers the property’s debt service, you’ll be in a good position for lender approval, bypassing the conventional mortgage route.This approach could allow the owner to stay in the house, while you take over financing with a less restrictive structure.

1) LTV - seller doesn't want to you claim at last minute that you didn't get approved for a 10% NOO loan, so can't close and you want your EMD refunded.2) PMC Holds EMD - PMC needs to be a licensed RE broker to do this.

I have had this goal of buying my first duplex and have talked to real estate investors, realtors, lenders, appraisers and have been encouraged so much to where I am anxious to dive into this.Now that I am 18 I have absolutely no debt, a credit score of 727, I have 28k sitting in a certificate of deposit, a couple years of working consistently under my belt, I’ve also been investing in my Roth IRA, I feel very blessed to be in this situation.I am still in high school, I know it wouldn’t be smart to buy a house right now but something in me is so anxious to buy this house I know I have to have patience but I don’t know if I should start the process of getting pre approved, finding a good investor friendly realtor, lender, preparing my documents or if I should just wait.When analyzing deals in my market I have crystal clear real estate deal criteria my strategy is house hacking a duplex, price range of 500,000-600,00 in Salt lake, Utah! 

You can do brand new builds on ADU's and you can use 50% of the future income from that ADU to increase your approval amount. 

Or you can sign up with a company like Solo 401K, use their IRS approved documents, and spend about $750.  

The county is the second fastest-growing in the U.S. and the fastest in North Carolina.The zoning for the project is already approved, and with our captive audience of potential tenants, I’m confident that all units will be leased upon completion.I’m seeking advice on how to best structure this debt with a private investor or investors in the short term until the property is fully rented and long-term financing is secured.

To get pre-approved for a loan, speak with a mortgage lender, research neighborhoods that fit your budget and lifestyle preferences, and consult with a real estate agent.Good luck!

I help fund a large project out of the springs where it was bought prior to approvals but it was already properly zoned so it was just prosecuting the map under the given zoning and that still took a few years.

The Biden administration recently approved the "sale" ($100/acre so more of a give-away/transfer) of 20 acres of BLM land near Las Vegas to Clark County to be used for affordable housing, so we'll see how that goes I guess.

Quit focusing on other's approval, focus on where you are trying to go.
