Does this closesing cost make sense? What should I expect?
I'm working with one of the lenders I used to work with. He processed this loan as a Conventional but this needs to be on a DSCR loan. Does anyone expense this with United Wholesale Mortgage? And does this closing cost make sense as well? He is running my soft credit for the loan guarantee and it will be on LLC. Does this seem right?

Yes it does. There is no box in Loan Estimates for NonQM loans (DSCR is a Non Qualified Mortgage...meaning it does not get sold to Fannie or Freddie). As such, most DSCR loan estimates go out as "conventional" in the box you highlighted. Nothing out of the ordinary there.
Couple notes in case your lender did not explain it:
1) The owners of the LLC are still personally guaranteeing the loan contrary to popular belief. Despite the LLC technically being the note holder, there is still a personal guarantee.
2) DSCR loans CAN report to credit. While they may not initially, these loans get packaged up and sold to different hedge funds, servicers, insurance companies etc. When they do get sold/transferred, the new servicer may not fully read through the agreement and may report the loan to your personal credit.
3) Regardless of whether it reports to credit or not, it technically will impact DTI once reported on Schedule E for tax returns. Might be able to make the case that if it is not on credit and title is in LLC name you can omit it from DTI calc, but that is going to come down to specific lender guidelines and underwriter a lot of the time in regards to how they interpret that.
Hope this helps!
