Turnkey rentals are a fantastic option - new builds or completely rehabbed homes, tenant ready, some tenanted, systems with 10 years of life remaining on them and property management teams in place -especially in the Midwest and Southeast of the country!

As of late we've had to work harder than ever dotting every I and crossing every T to ensure we were hitting maximum exposure.

I wouldn't call that a true "DSCR Loan" - especially considering that a ground-up construction property won't have any cash flow so DSCR would be negative or 0 numerator if you'd try to calculate it ground up multifamily is not 0 cashflow there are hundreds of thousands of apartments built every year, leased up, and sold for a profit as well. we build not only at a discount for investors but 1% on infill lots I'd be really careful with all your absolutes. you can get land for 10k in columbus on lots you can build 2-4 units on in one of the cheapest construction markets in the country.

Be sure to take property taxes into account too - there's a huge difference across the country. 

Hello @Shelby McKeanThere are REI opportunities in different markets - markets in the Midwest and Southeast of the country are great - where not only are the purchase prices reasonable for most RE investors, but the homes are turnkey (new builds or completely rehabbed homes, tenant ready, systems 10 years of life remaining on them, property management teams in place) with appreciating home value AND appreciating rent.

You've got to know that rents are down across the board all over the country -- be it LTR, MTR or STR.

I would focus more in the Southeast and Midwest of the country and on turnkey rental properties so that there is more peace of mind when holding the homes.

The majority of investors that I work with are out of state or out of the country.

Hope that helps, and fingers crossed your property weathers the storm without a hitch!
