And also, I believe my lenders have to be on board with this as well correct?

I want to get tighter on my buy box before reaching out to realtors, wholesellers, lenders, etc.I'm also curious if those data points are more focused on SFH as opposed to multi family. 

I was given a 8.1% interest rate from a lender specifically saying that that is the investors rate right now.

Don't rent to or make special accommodations for family members, especially when you don't trust them in the first place.Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

This is an irresponsible mistake by the CPA, I would make sure to fire him and leave bad reviews on all their social media accounts.

They fired the full-time employee and just absorbed the calls with existing staff.Most lenders will likely limit you by DSCR.

Hey @Chrissy Smyth      You can use the Find A Lender tab up top to source vetted lenders.

IMO the key metric is the DCR. talk to a commercial lender and find out how much they would lend on the property with a convetional loan and then factor in the 25% down and thats your number. i think most banks want 1.2-1.25 in order to lend based on the financials.
