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.

A lot is riding on him based on what you described. 

First, consider a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) on your condo, which can provide a flexible, revolving line of credit based on the equity you have built.

County records and software listings typically provide the total square footage based on documented measurements, which in this case is 1,795 sq ft.The discrepancy arises because the seller claims the downstairs, used as a business space, is also 1,700 sq ft, making the entire property 3,500 sq ft.

They also are military (we're near a base) and we don't have any concerns about payments.  

In the meantime consider just storing your cash in a vehicle that offers a stable/consistent ROR.

We have 10+ self service car washes/auto bays with no subscription services (some closed, some active, some partially active) for sale in our region and I am looking to find alternative uses for investors interested in the properties. 

Based on the information that you have provided.

If you're considering it as a vacation spot as well, look for an area that excites you and offers interesting attractions.

I am considering putting the property in their name in order to still qualify for any first time home buyer offers when I am looking for a single family home 2-3 years from now.
