Ok - understood.  

You can go to 80% on a commercial transaction assuming credit is strong and reserve requirements are met.   There are products available on 30 year fixed terms.

Hi Mike

Are your properties held in your personal name of an LLC?

Many lenders offer DSCR products on 30 year fixed terms.

Do you have a property in mind that you would like to purchase ?

Hi Danielle 

How long has the property vacant for? 

You may be able to go up to 80-85% financing if the rent schedule can support the loan.  

What is the sales price for the property ?

Hi Sean, 

There are programs available for first time investors. 

Experience is one factor that some investors may require as a condition, but overall, you can get a DSCR loan with healthy credit and reserves.

Do you have any properties in mind?
