There are so many good DSCR products now that have rates as good or better than a conventional loan, and the paperwork needed is minimal.

I'm debating whether to buy a lower end property in a marginal area, but would consider a higher end product if the price is right, the renovation cost are reasonable and the increase in market value warrants the purchase (which would also be the case for a lower end product but at lower price points).

That’s the rinse-and-repeat cycle most fix & flip investors use.There are loan products built specifically for this strategy that can help you move quickly and free up cash for your next project.

This has caused me to try to look for other products out there. 

We have a DSCR product available on up to 10 units.

We have a line of credit product we call "equity leverager" that allows an investor to collatalize up to four properties, and use the equity to buy a new property up to 100% LTC.

That way if bookings soften, you’re not stressed.If you want to compare financing structures, there are DSCR products designed specifically for STRs.

What skiptracing tool or service has been the most effective for you in terms of accuracy, ROI, and overall productivity?

There is a ton of new product being built in that area.  

The only times I have ever really used the "private lenders" are for deals that are very specific to some of their product offerings (such as fix and flip, ground-up, etc..)
