Here's basic rules :If cap rate is less than 5 year yield, never invest to any commercial real estate.

(no waiting period to simply refi what is owed) DSCR programs are not purchased by Fannie/Freddie so they can set their own rules and some have a waiting period as short as 3 months. 

Nothing in our "era" has changed these basic rules:1.

Lastly, do some initial research on local STR rules and costs to prepare for discussions with your team.Building a solid team, including an agent and co-host, will set you up for success.

I am not sure of the rules on that.

Not just location, but different states can have different (sometimes weird) rules like here in Texas where you need a manual third party "attorney review' on every loan doc set - adds about $100 to each doc cost that doesn't apply in most states

If you see someone violating the rules, create a post with "@moderators" and we will receive a notification and respond.Again, welcome to BiggerPockets and happy investing!

I’m trying to utilize 1% rule and it’s tough with current market
