I am excited to share a great conversation with you this week that will help you better understand homeowners insurance and what to do IF something bad happens, because it’s not a matter of IF, but WHEN..

 What do you do if your home floods or a tree falls through your roof? My guest this week is Luke Blankenship from Washington insurance Group. Luke and I walk you through the steps of what to do if you need to use your homeowner’s insurance. We run though a couple different scenarios, what to expect, and tips for making the process a little more seamless. 

 This is a helpful episode whether you are a current homeowner or future homeowner!

DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio.  Think of this as an investor loan for both short (airbnb) and long term rentals. 

A little background on what a DSCR loan is:
The formula for the debt-service coverage ratio requires net operating income and the total debt servicing for the entity. Net operating income is a company's revenue minus certain operating expenses (COE), not including taxes and interest payments. It is often considered the equivalent of earnings before interest and tax (EBIT).

Can finance over 10 properties, 1-4 unit homes, and 5-8 unit properties as well.  
Loan amounts up to $2.5m.
Min 20% down required.
Credit scores as low as 620.
