How Investors benefit from DSCR Loans

January 21, 2022

We’re in the middle of a rental boom. Fortune.com indicated in December of 2021 that rent prices jumped an average of 11.6% on one-bedroom units this year, and two-bedroom units jumped by 13.6% So naturally, this rise in rental fees suggests investors will grow their portfolios with new rental properties.

However, real estate investors have limited options when applying for a mortgage. Conventional underwriting guidelines are relatively narrow with respect to showing the ability to repay a loan. For instance, investors who write off business expenses could show poorly when only looking at documents such as taxes. How can you help these borrowers? Using property rents to qualify for a loan under DSCR underwriting can be the difference between normally passing on credit-worthy borrowers or helping them with their investment goals.

Conventional Loan programs for Investors

Investors have a handful of conventional loan options today, yet many of these options are imperfect solutions for investors. Traditional loans for investors all have one thing in common, a significant down payment. In many cases, depositing a large sum is not suitable for investors who look to leveraging as their strategy.

Typical Conventional Loan Qualifiers

  • 700+ FICO score
  • 20% down payment
  • Max loan amount of $822,375
  • Tax returns required
  • Pay stubs, W-2s, or other proof of income
  • Bank statements and additional assets
  • Gift letters
  • Renting history
