Hi BP!
Hope you’re all doing well
Do you generally have higher cash flow for a $300k home vs a $100k home?

Hi BP,
I'm interested in SFR home that is under $60K sale price. Do lenders work with loans that are this small? I've spoken to my main lender he said that their firm do not touch anything under $100K sale price.
Curious if you guys know of any that do small loans?

Hi BP,
Working on my first BRRR deal. Budget is low, around $100k purchase price. Want to make sure I have a smooth start on my first one.
There are both condos and houses under my $100k budget in the area I’m looking.
Curious if one is better than the other?
Thanks in advance.

@Brian Gerlach thanks for the response. That is what I assumed also. But the lender I'm working with is saying that the rental property need 2 year history to be factored in my DTI. I wonder if that is with all lenders or just his institution.

Hello BP!
I own a home that I would like to turn into an air bnb. I believe I can make 1.5x what i pay in mortgage for extra cashflow.
Goal is to buy a 2nd home or investment home that I can live in for about a year and then turn into a rental property. Problem is DTI would be right around 50% by buying the second home.
My question is, will I have issues getting financed for a 3rd home since by DTI will be over 50% with already 2 properties in my name? I've heard you had to show 2 years of documents on a rental in order for the bank to even consider..
Any insight or advice is appreciated!
