It's always best to exhaust your conventional financing options before venturing into DSCR (and I'm a DSCR broker). 

It’s got a lot of potential.There is no way for me to give you an exhaustive list of which numbers to trust and which numbers to question but at the end of the day, the source of where you get that data from matters a tremendous amount.Do I trust people?

I recently found another deal on a  property and I don’t want to exhaust my savings. 

My recommendation is to click on the magnifying glass in the corner and see the prior responses as this topic has been discussed exhaustively

If you do have such a business model then when you are searching for investment you will be looking for investments that can achieve that goal.I can write 10,000 pages, but I am exhausted and this will be my last statement.Never ever act on the advice from brokers, real estate agents, friends, relatives, bankers and never believe what I write because I could be the most full of sh... person who ever wrote a post on the internet.

We love being outside and need to do something soon, as the constant harping on the pups to stay inside the fence is getting quite exhausting!

I'm exhausted from reading your post.
