I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).

Quote from @Owen Rosen: Quote from @Rod Hanks: It’s a good idea to have the insurance policy include both the tenant’s name and yours as additional insured.

Make sure you fully understand the market you’re investing in, including rental demand, property values, and local landlord-tenant laws.Building a good team early on is also key.

I am going to talk to my PM about it to see if and how it was done, so if you would like to be included in the conversation or I can let you know, would love to have you there to see how it is done

Another property assessment included another home that had been demoed/removed before we bought the property. 

Common fees will include a set-up fee, a leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

Managing a property can be incredibly rewarding, but it does come with its fair share of challenges—especially with the recent shifts in Rhode Island legislation.In 2024 alone, 39 bills were introduced, and seven significant ones passed, including extended rental terms, mandatory fee disclosures, and other updates that every landlord should have on their radar.
