coastalcollective.chs 🎙️DSCR Loans Explained⁠ ⁠ In this episode, Stephen and guest Gary Harwyn break down one of the most talked-about tools in real estate investing: DSCR loans.⁠ ⁠ What matters here isn’t your income — it’s the property’s. 🏘️📈⁠ If the rent covers the mortgage, taxes, and insurance (and then some), you’re in the game. DSCR loans focus purely on cash flow, making them a powerful option for investors looking to scale without traditional income hurdles.⁠ ⁠ Credit score, down payment, and rental strategy matter — but at the end of the day, the big question is simple: does the property pay for itself?⁠ ⁠ 👉 Thinking about investing or curious if a DSCR loan could work for you?⁠ Send us a message and let’s break it down together.⁠ ⁠ #CharlestonSC #RealEstatePodcast #Podcast #RealEstate #SouthCarolina

coastalcollective.chs Smart Money, Real Conversations⁠ ⁠ In this episode, Stephen sits down with guest Gary Harwyn for an honest conversation about down payments, opportunity cost, and how people really build wealth. 💼📊⁠ ⁠ Is putting 30% down always the smartest move? Or could that extra cash work harder elsewhere — paying off debt, investing, or creating flexibility? This episode breaks the myth that bigger down payments automatically mean better decisions and reminds us that financial strategy is personal, not one-size-fits-all.⁠ ⁠ Because people don’t build wealth by rushing to pay off mortgages — they build it by using cash intentionally and making informed choices.⁠ ⁠ 👉 Curious about smarter ways to approach home buying or investing?⁠ Send us a message and let’s talk strategy.⁠ ⁠ #RealEstate #CharlestonSC #Podcast
