DSCR PadSplit Cash-Out Refinance in Charlotte, NC — How a 3-Month History Unlocked GrowthAn investor in Charlotte operated a single-family home as a PadSplit—room-by-room with weekly payouts—and wanted to scale into the next acquisition without pausing to save a new down payment.

Most major cities have a huge demographic of tenants living in poor conditions (due to tired landlords) that are willing to pay a few hundred more per month to live in something akin to a mid-tier hotel.

Inbound marketing, direct to seller is where the money is at.Most investors I speak with get leads from SEO, which are the most motivated seller leads & close around 1 in 10 leads to a deal, but it's definitely a long-term play.If you have a good follow-up and sales process in place, PPC or PPL is great to supplement while you're waiting for SEO to kick in (3-12 months depending on market & competition).

The biggest ones are property management (I don't live in Newark), amortized maintenance and amortized capex.

Can you financially sustain 18 months plus retro costs on the building if the tenant leaves?  

That way in the summer I can maximize income and pivot to mtr in slower months.

Yet, too many businesses still wait until the end of the month to reconcile.❌ That delay allows errors to pile up.❌ Cash flow reports become outdated the moment they’re run.Best practice?

They used to, but have tightened up guidelines apparently.

interest rates will likely be higher than single family, you will find 15-20yr amortization more frequently than 30, and your LTV will likely be no higher than 75%.You will have 5+ tenants vs one, which means you or your manager will be called for personal issues, if any, between tenants.
