Andrew,
Ideally, you want to keep that initial financing below 70% of the after-repair-value. That way on a 75-80% cashout you can recoup your cost, and possibly add additional cash to your operating account, to scale your progress toward building a portfolio.
It's not going to happen overnight but with consistent investments, each additional property should add equity, cash, and monthly cash flow to your portfolio, causing a compounding effect to allow you to scale.
Let me know if you have any further questions, but this seems like a great place for you to start.

Victoria,
A cash-out refinance on a DSCR (cashflow/bank statement) program would be suitable for this transaction. Depending on the margins of the deal such as loan-to-cost and rental income this is a great approach to get you max cash in the pocket without considering debt-to-income or personal tax returns.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hey James!
You are correct, Boston's property values are going to prohibit cash flow. The best way to get around that is to fund a heftier down payment, wait for rates to decrease, or find a 2-4 unit that will allow higher rental income. However, as others have said you may be better off seeking a different market, perhaps a little further outside the main metropolitan area where property values slightly decrease.
Another way around this is simply investing in a new MSA. There are MSAs with better cashflows for investors like yourself, and if you can find a property manager you trust, this won't be out of reach for a first-time investor. Let me know if you have any further questions and I would be glad to assist.
Post: Seasoning periods for Refinance?

Hello, i've been hearing different investors talk about a seasoning period when refinancing out of hard money during the BRRRR process. can anyone help me dive a little deeper on what this is/mean?
Isaiah,
Most lenders require 3-6 Months of seasoning. However, options exist that will finance 100% LTC, meaning purchase and material costs can be funded prior to meeting a season requirement.
Hope this helps.
Post: DSCR Refi with a less than ideal LTR rate, but perfect STR rate?

Quote from @Luther Epperhart:
I will be soon finishing up two builds on STRentals, under my LLC, in the Smokey mountains I used a hard money loan for. The appraised value after the build will be about double what I will owe the hard money lender. I want to cash-out refi with a DSCR loan. Conventional will not work.
I need to cash-out 75% LTV to have $ for future projects and furniture. My two issues are,
will a DSCR Cash-Out Refi lender take the projected LTR rate or can we do comps for the STR rate? The LTR rate is much too low, but I am in Gatlinburg, so it's a common thing to build assuming STR.
also, will the lender need any seasoning period? I need to get the money as quickly as possible to furnish the rentals and don't want to loose any time as I already have land picked out for the next projects.
Answers/suggestions or recommendations to DSCR lenders/brokers than can help me are greatly appreciated.
Hey Luther,
Some options allow up to 80-85% of Market short-term rental income to be justified to back DSCR. Like others have said, you may run into some issues getting max 75% cash-out if the property is considered rural.
Seasoning should not be a concern as you have owned the property for more than 6 months, but this is worth considering since many products do have a strict 6-month requirement.
