Net income = $39,240Monthly operating expenses are as follows: Trash - $33, Landscaping/yard - $66, Electric - tenants pay, Water - $95, Maintenance $87Monthly taxes about 3KSo, gross expenses are at $41,064If I'm doing the calculations correctly, my net operating income is -$21,888 and cap rate is -3.4%.Obviously the current numbers look terrible for this investment, but I feel like the rent should be raised significantly based on comps (above 2K each unit).

Hello Faiz,If the property is paid off and it is rented out, I might recommend a DSCR loan as it is based off of the asset itself and most DSCR lenders do not need W2/Tax Returns.

This was based on our continuing commercial relationship with this institution.  

Based on the above projections I receive, I then decide to move forward with the property or look elsewhere. 

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.
