intcmp=vhp-bb-fbcIts important that things get done, quickly and in a professional looking manner vs just being the cheapest in town.What I am saying is it's (also) important to Judge the outcome by the quality of the work, and the speed (to prevent excessive downtime).Cheapest is not always best.

Depending on your credit, down payment, property details, if you're self employed you may have to use two years of tax returns.Generally people will consider a DSCR loan if they have maxed out their DTI, don't have a regular W2 job, don't make enough money to underwrite a loan based o their income, would like to hold the property in an LLC or would like an easier underwriting process as the lender is only looking at the purchase property and not asking for lots of income documents or excessive documents for other real estate owned.
