Everyone's waiting for interest rates to fall but not sure if that's going to happen now.

Hi Michelle, You can use gift funds to close on a DSCR loan.

Make sure to confirmwith the title agent if you need to bring certified funds or wire the funds beforehand and how far in advance the funds must be wired.

I have nice 3-4% rates but just fearful of a hurricane coming through and destroying the homes. 

Property prices are very high in this region, and it seems unlikely that rental properties will generate positive cash flow due to the high cost of homes and current high interest rates.

I want to be able to repeat this as fast as possible, so I'm wondering if anyone has used private money to fund BRRRRs and how it looks.
