How to Finance a Co-Living Property [Q&A]
Question: I own a few long-term rental properties. Now I want to start finding larger properties to rent by the room. My cash flow will be more than double.
I am going to look for a house that I can modify and buildout at least a few more bedrooms. I would probably try and get 6 bedrooms out of each house.
I imagine that I would purchase the home and put another $75k in getting it ready for co-living. Will the DSCR lenders look at the lease agreement if I have one main tenant who subleases to the other tenants?
What would be some suggestions for financing?
