This also included moving the main electrical panel from a second floor apartment down to the basement of the house but the majority of the cost, $35,000 of it was for the installation and purchase of the 5 new meters and the cost of installing them.

The possibility of each tenant having their own bathroom and the potential for increased rent revenue was particularly appealing.Upon visiting the property for a tour, I was supprised to see the house not only featured the advertised 4 bedrooms and baths but also included an additional full bedroom and bathroom, absent from the online photos.

., The issues that require a special form of transaction when you want to include improvements are that you cannot take title to your new property before you close the sale of your old property. 

Based on a rough analysis for a project timeline, I believe the total project can be completed in 5-7 months with the team I have available if we get involved in completing the work on the project.Deal Analysis as a whole - Actual Costs may be slightly different but estimates should be fairly closePost Construction Estimated Market Value - Lot 1: $379,000 Lot 2: $307,000 Total Estimated Market Value $686,000+- $102,000 - Cost to payoff HML & Previous Builder- $154,800 - Estimated Cost to complete House #1- $170,370 - Estimated Cost to complete House #2: Includes New Well/Septic $7500, Impact Fees $2100, Permits $1000= $427,170 - Estimated Cost to Payoff HML, Complete Construction on House #1, and Construct House #2+ $686,000 - Total Future Market Value- $20,580 - 3% Buyer Agent commissions as the current owner(Listing Agent) will be listing these properties without compensation- $2,538 - Real Estate Transfer Taxes- $1,500 - Settlement Costs Paid at Closing______________________________________________ $234,212- $27,900 - Payment to Seller for Down Payment made by seller to HML @ Origination (For her to break even)= $206,312 - Potential Return before any Interest/Fees/Taxes/EtcI've spoken to a few HM Lenders and ran rough numbers by them.

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.

So, basically whatever income she has will be added up, including the capital gains, into that number. 

I know there are a lot of people, investors included, that will find something wrong with a property but cover it up instead of fix it.

What I found was despite all the challenges, when you include debt pay-down I only "lost" $678.31 this month.

Based on my research (including RDPD), it seems that minimizing the initial down payment and using available cash for further investments is what's advised (+ pull more money from refinance when the value increases later).
