Location: Chesapeake, VA (large military town) Market Value: $360,000Loan Balance: $245,000Equity/Second position note: $115,000 (30 30-year amortization / 10-year Balloon Payment, 6.5% Interest, $727 monthly payment) - Bringing cash for this would save a ton of money for the buyer.Rate: 2.25%Years Left: 26Current Monthly payment: $1,300 (including taxes/insurance)Current Rent: $2,000Scenario 1: -If you were to purchase with a new VA loan at 7% interest at market value your monthly PITI would be approx.: $2,757-If you were to assume the loan and I carried the second note at the above terms your monthly PITI would be: $2,027Saving: $8,760 per year.Scenario 2:-If you were to bring the same $115,000 as a down payment on a conventional loan you would pay: $1,992-If you were to assume the loan and bring cash for equity position your monthly PITI would be: $1,300Saving: $8,304 (with no need to refi in the future)Since this is a hypothetical situation I'm going to give my number based on nat. average homeownership of 13.2 years.

agree with the other comment, different markets are doing different things. also, "be greedy when others are fearful." what people might be afraid of is, lots of commercial ARMs coming up on their rate adjustments, & the new rates (compared to 5y ago when they first purchased) will kill their cashflow, so they'll sell, and if everyone is doing this at once, supply might outweigh demand, everyone has to sell for less than they planned, and everyone who hangs on to their similar properties gets to recalculate their estimated mkt value with the new going cap rates. i don't personally think this is going to cause as insane of a shift as some people do, but it's all speculative, we won't know til it happens. if you can find a deal that pencils with 30y fixed debt, do it. 

Picture real estate companies accessing a plethora of information on tokenized assets including fungible tokens (NFTs) right at their fingertips.

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 = 1.23DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC.

There is no way to know what the lending landscape and his options will be in five years from now - that type of loan could still be available or there could be some differences - including nuance with the specific property, location, etc

This prohibition includes but is not limited to, loud noises, loud music, noxious or unpleasant orders and disruptive behavior or actions. 

Have you considered doing everything one color including the trim? 

Some agents include the assumption option in public or private remarks.I also use property radar to search loan info on local properties.Do you have a VA loan entitlement available and gap funds ?

I will include myself in that camp.
