If you structure your lease option correctly, it'll actually benefit your DSCR loan.I have a lease-option tenant buyer that's currently in a 10-year lease option with me. 

For example, focus on demo and structural work in month 1, plumbing and electrical in month 2, and finishing (flooring, paint, etc.) in month 3.

Buy than Build by Walker Deibel is a great book for Business purchasing, it talks about structure and evaluating. 

As others have also noted, DSCR loans are separate from rehab loans which are often structured as hard money loans bundled with the upfront purchase.We fund both hard money for the purchase + rehab as well as long-term DSCR loans for the cash out refinance in BRRRR projects.
