Why this file worked

  1. Duplex rent roll — two units de-risk vacancy vs SFR
  2. Conservative ARV — did not comp Carmel suburban sales
  3. Documented draws — limited-seasoning DSCR required clean bridge history
  4. Exit modeled pre-acquisition — sponsor ran amortizing payment in DSCR calculator before LOI
