This criteria is for 1-4 and 5-8 unit programs.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).

Many investors make the mistake of assuming that a shorter PMA is better:( There's a reason purchase contracts have type so small you can barely read them, yet are 4-6+ pages.Reality is:1) Only if it's properly in writing, do they have to do it.2) If it's not in writing that they can't do it - they will and charge you for it.

Hello, I'm new to real estate and I'm looking to purchase my first property in Chicago .

At any time during the 48 month lease the property can be purchased.

Terms negotiable.Why Shaker Heights Short answer: Purchased under 70% ARV-Reno, Duplex (two rents), desirable clean neighborhood, decent schools.

There is the theoretical/mathematical way of doing things then there is the real world.Most deals are NOT going to be valued by cap rate, at least at purchase.  

Well, what if you purchased at a booming market, then it crashes?

Why do you think purchase contracts are so long and have such small print?
