The concern with the DSCR loan is that I need to make the property present as though it's rented to individuals during appraisal (tough since it's a working rehab facility now) and must create another lease that shows the tenant as personal and not a company.

Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

He personally screened every tenant, handled every maintenance request, and even showed up to mow the lawn at his properties when the landscapers were running late.His phone rang constantly—contractors, tenants, vendors—all needing his immediate attention.

Also, would this loan help build my personal credit, or would it only report to business credit bureaus under my LLC?

Know your responsibilities as a landlord instead of acquiescing to every request or complaint.

I have no personal experience with them but they are the only company I know of that are built more for self managers and small portfolios. 

I have from time to time spoken with the city administrator, economic developer, & a person at building planning commission.

The challenge was separating business from personal relationship.
