I am a small start up who is doing rehabs at this time.

Personally, I started in a market close to me as I wanted to do rentals so until I got my process down, I didn't want to venture too far from home.

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

I like the West End, but I wouldn't start a long, expensive rehab in a declining market right now.  

Would I then start applying for DSCR loans?
