Agree with Bob - Josh is a great resource in this business.There's also FIXnotes.com for a trove of free content (and a weekly hour-long YouTube show) I think I spent almost five hours yesterday sitting in a coffee shop absorbing all the AMAZING information on FIXnotes.com.  

For example, while a lender may look primarily at the cash flow of the property, your income and credit score may still be considered as secondary factors to qualifying.Also, the terms/rates for DSCR lenders vary, so if you are purchasing an investment property, be sure to shop around.Good luck!

@Fareed FityanChris is obviously great, he is incredibly knowledge about everything in the lending world...When a TIC loan that I used to have matured last year, the ONLY one that could and did help me was Stanford Federal Credit Union...Now I am shopping around for a rental cash-out refi, again SFCU offered to help, and Keystone Credit Union too...

Shop around a bit and see if there's a good fit.
