That would be a great bonus and it would help me get to my repair and occupancy saving goals faster.One thing I need to research is how lower rates impact rental rates.

DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio and you qualify based on the property itself rather than your DTI, work history, etc.

Not being able to reach customer service is one of the most important things that a host needs and it's also my deal breaker. 

Who will pay for repairs, utilities, the payments, and what if you have an insurance claim?

The appraiser will complete the appraisal and fill out the 1007/rent schedule which will calculate the common rents in the neighborhood market.Those rents will be used to show if the new mortgage PITI payment will debt service itself.

This is how most hard money works now Rates: 9% to 13% (Most Deals are 11-12%)Terms: up to 36 Months (Most Deals are 6-12 months)Fees: 2-4 points(%) of loan amount paid at closing (Most Deals are 3 points(%))Minimum Loan Amount: $50,000 (For loans less than $250,000 $2,500 minimum fee)Max Loan: 65%-70% of After Repair Value(ARV) 100% Rehab Financing Available (Require 20% of purchase price down payment or cross-collateral)Closing Timeframe: 48 Hours - 3 Weeks (Most Deals are 2 Weeks)NO PRIMARY RESIDENCES, NON-OWNER OCCUPIED ONLY, BUSINESS AND COMMERCIAL USE ONLY.

Appreciation can.If you've got 10 properties cash flowing $200/mo apiece after you pay the mortgage and all expenses AND set aside a repair reserve, well...great.

I am looking specifically for someone who is excellent at carefully monitoring and toggling pricing with the goal of keeping the Unit as occupied as is possible.I do have access to a few excellent cleaning crews and so I can take that on, but am also open to full service companies who have cleaning in house.I will also consider "small footprint" operations with good references and proven expertise.Thank you,John

I've seen extensive foundation repairs done to cinder block walls that are bowing from external hydraulic pressure, and they've been repaired with extensive steel beams, tension systems and a drain cut in for around $12,000.4" is a fair bit of slope and to put in floor leveler...well, that's a lot of floor leveler.  

To get the after-repair value an appraiser is going to be looking for properties that are as similar to this property as possible.
