@Renee LeFevreTo rent out your basement, follow these steps: check local regulations, prepare the basement with separate entrance, screen potential tenants, draft a lease agreement, set the right rent price, consider tax implications, update homeowner's insurance, and build a positive tenant relationship to attract quality renters.Good Luck!

There should be other options, however with an LLC and fourplex - yes, DSCR is by far most likely to be your best option unless you do the heavy lifting with local banks and credit unions (and these are increasingly not great options for this type of stuff as they move painfully slow and are under lots of regulations and restrictions)2) I haven't yet reached out local banks, but seeing the quotes from brokers makes me wondering if Banks may be better? 

We need more supply to do that.

Verify STR regulations in Littleton/Denver and secure permits.

Critical features for me: calendar mgt, manage client communication, communicating with team (i.e. cleaners), supply/operations checklist per property, and vacancy reporting. 

A $200,000 duplex might have identical rents in municipality “A” and municipality “B” but the property tax rates will vary, local regulations will dictate licensing requirements, labor rates will vary & the particular location will dictate insurance premiums since insurance carriers will weigh local replacement costs and whether the municipality is viewed as being a “plaintiff friendly” in arriving at insurance premiums.Better situated assets will attract better tenants.

That's why we started offering BRRR Turnkeys, where we help investor source a property (or they can find on their own), we rehab it, supplying rehab videos so they can see what was actually done.

We will continue to have an influx of transplants from high tax, high regulation states like CA and NY.
