I used my VA loan with this one and the necessary repairs were made to make this property move in ready for me.

DSCR loans look at you liquidity position, credit score, and the rent vs principal, interest, taxes, and insurance.

And my exit plan, if things dont work out is I buy it at the appraised value , move there and rent my current house ( smaller , same class A community)  And the cash flow will just about cover the new loan .So before you get into flipping ( with no experience ) look at all possibilities and run different what ifs and have multible back up plans .

If the ARV is supported, you might be good to REALLY just give it a spit shine and refinance at 3-6 months and you'll be in good shape.I will say, getting a rehab/bridge loan at the start will show (from the lender's perspective) that you did work to it and might help you to get the full refinance of the ARV sooner.

No, as long as your loan was an OO loan that provided you live there 1 year then you've met your obligation and can move out with no issue.

Leverage the investment with a loan, but keep LTV low around 40% to 50%.5.

Conventional refis require 12 months of seasoning now, so many investors are using DSCR loans.

"House hacking" or "live-in flip" is the the easier path if your new to REI.Find a property that needs work and qualifies for a loan then buy it under market value.

The loan program finances up to 75% LTV and allows for a seller-held 2nd lien for a combined 90%.

There are option to do it the conventional route, and there are options that does not considered DTI (like dscr loans).
