A DSCR loan is going to require more down, have high fees at closing, a higher interest rate, a pre-payment penalty, and will require you to have cash reserves that you likely don't have at the moment.

Here is the link to the calendar for you to get an idea: https://www.alamoreia.org/Calendar.aspxThere is an annual fee to become a member of a REIA, but you don’t need to be a member to attend certain events.

I'll add a few more things that can have a huge financial impact: required reserves, LTC (loan to cost), application or other upfront fees, and prepayment penalties.As a fellow flipper, I think it's important to have reserves, but they shouldn't be required as part of your funding.

My duplex - built 1989, 2,060 sf, 2 bed/bath, 1 year old roof, value if I subdivide (county already approved) and sell each separately $150k each ($300k total)Investor duplex - built 1995, 2,300 sf, 2 bed/bath, 5 year old roof, value around $310kThe investors initial request was for an equal trade and they would pay realtor fees, which I replied wouldn't be equal due to buying/selling costs (recording fees, title insurance, closing fee, survey, inspections, loan fees, 1031 fees, accountant fees, repairs), taxes would increase due to new sale price, I'd trade a 3.75% mortgage for a higher one, and I'm on the 10th year of a 30 year loan so resetting that to a new loan would restart amortization and pay more towards interest.

So huge portion of investment is not even depreciable. 2) All the repairs and property management fees etc are real expenses.

Quote from @Matt McNabb: I'm a solid $400k/yr job in NYC and have $250k to begin investing as my first step into building a portfolio, although I don't have time to be a landlord so I have to account for management fees.  

Sorry you are dealing with that, it sounds awful.My guess is most attorneys are going to charge hourly on something like this unless you are suing the HOA for damages in which case they may take a contingency fee.

Late Payment Penalty: A late payment fee of 5% of the overdue amount will apply if payments are more than 10 days late.3.

That means they have hauled in over $2.6MM just in initial setup fees.

Maintenance and admins fees are high.
