We were also about to put brand new LVP flooring throughout the downstairs when we noticed this issue....Recently, we had noticed the slope in our upstairs bedroom getting slightly worse, our window wouldn't close and it feels like some floorboards underneath the carpet are starting to come up so we contacted a foundation/basement company to come look at the issue.

That's awesome your tenant is looking into options for home repairs.If your tenant needs any advice or recommendations based on my experience, feel free to share my contact details.

Feel free to reach out if I can help.

Quote from @Michael Smythe: What you're really paying a franchise fee for is their systems and processes vs trying to set them all up yourself. 100% - I’m starting to feel like it’s worth it to set them up myself or partner with a broker who can help me get started.  

Good luck on your real estate journey, and feel free to ask if you have more specific questions along the way!

Some may also offer a short term bridge debt option that rolls into permanent financing at a certain benchmark, saving in refi costs.DSCR lenders as I'm using it will be permanent debt financing for many investors because these loan products look heavily at the income the property produces.
