You want to grow your portfolio wide in your early years, you can then grow it deep later - meaning paying off loans. 

Hi Iris, I work for a nation wide mortgage lender and we do DSCR loans as low as 75k.

As a civil engineer and owner of a firm that works on a wide range of projects across Texas, Nebraska, and Colorado, I have learned the value of thorough due diligence before breaking ground.If you are doing ground up construction, make sure you understand what you are getting into with the city or county where you plan to build.

We still evolve specs over time, but we do it intentionally and portfolio-wide rather than reactively property by property.

Not sure of your definition of yacht (at that price point I suspect you are near what I used to own), but as someone that owned a 32’ boat with twin diesels, flying bridge, galley, restroom, bed area, boats are expensive to maintain and especially so if they sit in the water (my 32’ required wide load permit to tow so never was towed in my ownership).  

If you're doing arbitrage, make sure the owner is truly on board, the lease allows it, and the rent-to-MTR spread is wide enough to stay profitable even with a few slower months.

While the move was widely anticipated, the split vote and the Fed’s messaging signal a shift toward greater caution.

Quote from @Mike Grudzien: It all depends on the market, the presiding regulations in the municipality and the owner's business acumen.Agreed, there are no monolithic regulations that apply to the entire country, and I can't think of any states with state-wide restrictive regulations. 

A call to the Realtor working for the lender, or the Bank's representative (prior to making the offer) would reveal the banks requirements regarding re-assignment.Is this situation USA-wide or just restricted to certain states?
