@Kyle Souza A couple quick and fast tips on qualifying for multifamily loans are having enough experience in the eye's of the lender, a 1.3X DSCR (using lender underwriting..not broker's underwriting), and a net worth equal to or greater than your loan size.

I also like the idea of using one of the units as a home base; this is smart planning and a good foundation to start with.In regard to Syracuse, you may have a leg up there as well since you live there with the Syracuse Land Bank.

(I’d prefer you found a way to put down 20% and save the PMI as well as lower mortgage origination costs and on going interest costs.

Good Luck,I go to  a group in Doral if interested

There are DSCR programs that go down to a 620 mortgage FICO score-higher credit scores will have better rates.
