Anyone have recommendations on ones that are actually worth it and have helped you or others you know. 

Compare my bottom line to those who claim it's fine to invest where you get a $100 a month cash flow and sometimes actually even get rent. ;-) IMHO Thank you so much for your insight.

So, you didn't actually close with them?

Comps can show one thing but actually closing can be another.

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.

Looking for any input or advice on how this strategy actually works.

It's easy to cheerlead and harder to actually DO the work.

I am curious if that is actually what happened?

From my understanding, as long as you intend on doing a STR when you close, there are no rules against changing your strategy after closing, especially if you find that something else is more profitable.So in our case, the lender determined an STR would bring in ~$3500/month (with all of their conservative factors), but now that we operate it as a huge 3300 sqft Co-Living property, it actually brings in $7000/month.

@Christina Galdieri Sorry, the actual location doesn't matter.
