I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).

So, Brandon, if your capital reserves are 150kish, I would really think about doing some BRRRRs or Flips even to generate cash cause that 150k will be sucked up in 2 - 3 deals, instead you can use 150k to scale and never be out of the game.I wouldn't rush to infuse 100% of the capital in two holds. 

I would have never suspected giving somebody who has no money and no experience to buy real estate would not get returnedOh and your payday lending loan is also not securedI remember when I used to drive by stores like this called payday loans and pawnshops - which atleast there you had to give up your Casio watch
