DSCR requires No income, No Taxes and Commercial requires a PFS, occupancy ratios usually above (90%), Credit scores above 720+ much higher assets for (PITI reserves and overall risk, landlord seasoning, and more.A Heloc can be used in most cases for anything but when you are trying to buy a commercial building which is higher risk, the committee/UW can and in most cases will deny it if they feel you are over extended low assets or with no landlord experience, unless you have a meaty amount of equity to cross collateralize for a junior lien on another property.

Simply put, there are a lot more co-hosts/managers like myself and yourself who got started self-managing their own properties around covid and are now afraid or unwilling to buy new properties at current prices/rates, but want to use their knowledge/experience to keep increasing income in the space. 

You buy cash, do a cosmetic rehab to force equity, and then refi out.
