These typically are not reported to credit bureaus and also do not affect your debt to income ratio which frees up your credit for personal loans that you may need in the future as well as does not limit you to the amount of loans that you can have as a buy and hold investor. 

This criteria is for 1-4 and 5-8 unit programs.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 = 1.23DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC.

Typically we have paid appointment setters based on specific KPI’s which are typically getting the appointments setup.If they bring the lead but someone else cannot close it that is really not in them.

You can use a co-borrower just make sure they have good credit and a (2) year work history of W2 income.Try and avoid self employed co-borrowers because their tax returns typically do not show income and are full of deductions.

@Ryan Brown, I am not an NYC landlord and know you are subject to different laws than I am in Ohio.But, typically, as long as their shower head is fully functional, I cannot see any reason why you would be required to replace it for them.  

Keep in mind that if you are getting a license for your own deals, e&o insurance typically will not cover your own deals.

Example 10x 10 normally $80.  

For example, if you occupancy at your BLT is only 30%, then lower your base price by 10%.

@Manny Martinez FHA monthly mortgage insurance is typically 0.85% of the loan amount, so you are effectively already paying the rate you were quoted, $200 per month on an $80,000 loan amount would be about the equivalent of a 3% interest only loan, now factor in the difficulty in finding a 2nd mortgage in todays rate environment that low and assuming the refi rate you are talking about is a fixed rate, your $200 extra per month is paying down the balance of the $80k further reducing the effective rate you are paying on the $80k, all while paying about the same effective rate on your existing balance when you combine your rate and MMI... seems like it is a good move to me or at least better than finding a 2nd mortgage.
