You can look and see what they pay for our area. usually they pay higher rents to allow section 8 tenants housing.

If there are comparable rentals that support the rent by room amount, then yes it can be considered for DSCR. 

Hello Jim,Evaluating prospective tenants who do not have a traditional credit score can be challenging but still feasible, and I appreciate your fairness. - Some credit bureaus and services (like Experian RentBureau or Esusu Rent) offer alternative credit reports that include rent payment history, utility payments, and other recurring bills.

You can also find real estate investing groups through meetup.com, Facebook, or a Google search.

Who can I talk to to figure out why my status was reduced from Pro? 

But if there is ample room in the bedroom and you can take a single sink to double vanity, or add a dedicated water closet, or take a 3x3 shower into a 3x5 or larger, making the bathroom more luxurious, than I could see a good ROI on that.While the area may be very nice, the price point you are talking (and I don't know the specific market) is borderline starter home prices.  

There's also hard money & private lenders, but they can be expensive.

It can go wrong anywhere and everywhere. 

Picture attached for reference and can gladly provide more. 

I’ll pull comps and make sure I can at least rent it for $1,600/month.
