@Stephen Mcnulty Jr If you’re looking to avoid putting 20% down and also need something that is quick, plenty of lenders offer products that would have you bring 11-15% to close towards acquisition. You have to factor in closing costs, you’re still significantly under that 20% threshold with the added benefit of speed and flexibility.

Quote from @Dwayne Poster:

Builders are just getting warmed up. Sure, it's a new pricing level, but so what, profitability is what counts. Just like the last couple of booms, they will build until they cant sell, just like last time.

Interesting you say that. With a housing shortage, seems like money would flow down to new housing. Increasing the supply-side of housing would stabilize the price of houses in the market. 

@Barrett Hoard I know a good lender that may be able to lend a hand. I’ll reach out and put you two in touch!

@Edo Y. I know a good lender in New Jersey that may be of some assistance to you. I'll shoot you a message. 

Typically if renovations were done you can avoid a seasoning period. Did you add value to the property and how did you pay for the renovations?

I know I'm a bit late to the party and there is a plethora of great information. I just recently saw a deal funded at 60% LTV DSCR loan!

If you can get a private loan for 5% good on you. I haven't seen anything that low so I would just do your due diligence. What's the purpose of the property? Some lenders do not UW STR so if it's a STR it's worth considering. Is it FRM or some sort of ARM? What LTV amount for that rate?

With the facts, however, 5% 30 year is good.

Aloha and welcome aboard!

I second Matthew’s thoughts. However, it’s a good time to gather questions and meet with asset protection and tax professionals and develop a long term strategy that works for you. 

This will give you milestones to trigger the formation of LLCs, using private money, acquisition goals, etc.

Quote from @Kevin Woodard:

They are indirectly correlated (you can have a high ARV and low rent if the market so chooses), however if you are looking at a DSCR for the refi both will be extremely important factors.

Leverage and ultimately cash back are both dependent on the ARV and rental income. ARV is the value of the property which determines max loan amount and ultimately payments (debt), and your income (rent) must be able to service that debt a reasonable ratio (no less than 90%). DSCR is the ratio of income to debt, and I haven't seen anything less than 90%.

Hope this helps.

Actually, I was hoping to use the DSCR for both the purchase and the reno. (Not sure if that's its purpose, or even allowed!?!) The purchase amount is $60,000., repairs are $15,000., ARV is $85,000. if one family ($110,000. estimate if 3 unrelated student renters), and $2,550. gross monthly rental income.
That is not the intended purpose. There are products that exist, but to fit the property into the box is tough. 

Your best bet would be to do a HM/PM value add loan then refi into a DSCR. The appraised value sub-100k may pose an issue for the long term loan.
