However, always have a flexible approach – sometimes a great property comes up that’s worth pursuing even if your financing isn't fully in place yet.LendersFor multi-family housing owned by out-of-state investors, I recommend looking into regional banks or credit unions in the Midwest market you’re targeting, as they often have more tailored loan products.

However, if they do, they are likely just 'okay' with it and would likely leverage the 10-07 market rent analysis on the appraisal to actually calculate and determine the official DSCR during Underwriting.Hope that helps, if you do have a tenant who is willing to be flexible, the 12 month is always the safest bet.

That takes my time most nights, and weekends to receive/pack/ship those products but is super flexible with time.On top of that, I self manage 6 of my own rentals, the cash flow pays for my current mortgage and repairs so it makes living in my primary house free.Experience now:My wife and I have 6 rental homes locally, all rented, all cashflow.

As a hard money lender, I specialize in providing fast and flexible financing solutions tailored for investors like you, especially when you’re looking to move quickly on a promising deal.Whether you're interested in fix-and-flip projects, rental property acquisitions, or other investment opportunities, I can help you secure the funds you need without the lengthy approval processes typical of traditional loans.

They often have more flexible terms and can work with ARV instead of LTV.

This is a really great long-term investment in the details, so I'm very flexible with what needs to happen to get the property.

I work full time (own my own business and can be somewhat flexible) and I am about 3 years from retirement.

Thanks Check out this article on BP published on this exact topic - the "5-10 Unit Multifamily Niche" has some very specific financing options - including, the Multifamily "DSCR Loans" that @Brian Cauldwell mentioned - these look like SFR loans (no tax returns, 30-year fixed, Rent/PITIA to calc DSCR etc.) but are for slightly bigger propertieshttps://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/multifamily-dscr-loansHi Tony - As others have mentioned a DSCR could be a great option if you’re open to a higher DP with more flexibility.

I would like to borrow 200k if possible but am flexible there too 

Your plan to either rent or flip the property depending on the market is flexible, which is great.
