If they damage the lawn, they are financially responsible for it.Washington is not a landlord-friendly state.

Duplex is a great first step into the REI market if you can buy one that you can put in a little TLC/renovations, you can quickly refinance in as little as 6 months and buy another property keeping it as a rental.Duplex allows you to use the other "Unit" rents to qualify for the loan or higher loan amount.Rent is a waste of money when you look at an amortization schedule and payoff based on a 5 year model your rental has (ZERO) equity and a home has money you can pull out.

You are able to finance it via a DSCR loan .

I have brokers lining up some pre-approvals but wanted to see if anyone has had some local success with conventional financing or some type of rehab based loans. 

There you will be asked your criteria and then after answering a few questions you will be matched with 3-5 agents or loan officers in your area.

I’ve been seeing a lot about DSCR loans .

If so, you'd be looking at using a different loan type for that.Assuming you're the end buyer, then the fees depend on how you and your wholesaler worked it out. 

I used Associated Credit Union out of GA.I have a 10% down 2nd home loan with them.

@Yanely PegueroRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

We used a hard cap lender that financed the purchase as well as the rehab loan.
