Common questions
How do I know these Gainesville rentals actually cashflow?+
Every property is scored against current DSCR lending criteria using a rent estimate built from local market comps — the median asking rent for similar homes in the same zip. “Pays for itself” means the estimated rent covers the full monthly payment: mortgage, taxes, and insurance. Final numbers are always confirmed by a loan officer and appraisal.
Can I qualify without a W-2 or tax returns?+
Yes — that's the point of a DSCR loan. It qualifies on whether the property's rent covers the payment, not your personal income. You need a down payment (typically 20–25%), decent credit, and to already own or have recently owned a home.
I don't own a home yet. Can I still invest here?+
Not with a DSCR loan — but you can house-hack: buy a 2–4 unit property with a regular consumer loan at as little as ~3.5–5% down, live in one unit, and rent the rest. A year later, the listings on this page become your shopping list.
