Why Use a DSCR Investment Property Loan?
Traditional mortgage lenders require tax returns, W-2s, and paycheck stubs in order to determine monthly income. Salaried and hourly borrowers would require the lenders to look at gross income for qualifying purposes. But for self employed borrowers, traditional mortgage lenders look at net income, the adjusted gross income showing on tax returns. This puts real estate investors and other self employed borrowers at a disadvantage.
However, rental loans are a great way for real estate investors to qualify for both acquisitions and refinances, without requiring bank statements or tax returns, and without having to qualify using a debt to income ratio. (Bank statement loans are also a great option for self employed borrowers, to learn more about bank statement loans click here.)
Borrowers that fall outside traditional underwriting guidelines but are looking for long term loans with more attractive rates than hard money loans can use the DSCR investment property loan to their advantage. These loans do not require tax returns, income or employment, or debt to income ratio calculations.
DSCR loans provide the flexibility and lessened documentation of hard money loans, but with rates closer to traditional financing.
This is a constantly evolving area of real estate financing that offers a powerful way to grow your real estate portfolio.
What is Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)?
The DSCR = Properties Current Rents / New PITI (principal, interest, taxes, and insurance) monthly Payment. If your property is collecting rents that covers your current PITI Payment your property debt services aka your property’s rents cover your total mortgage payment.
Example of DSCR Calculation: New P&I = $1,851.26 + 758.53 taxes + $147 insurance = $2,756.79 PITI | $3200 Current Rents/$2756.79 = 1.16 DSCR
Debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) is one of many financial ratios that lenders assess when considering a loan application. This ratio is especially important because the result gives some indication to the lender of whether you’ll be able to pay back the loan with interest. A ratio over 1 is good, and the higher the better.
The minimum DSCR a lender will demand depends on macroeconomic conditions. If the economy is growing, lenders may be more forgiving of lower qualifying ratios.
New DSCR Mortgage Loan Program
If you are a borrower who prefers NOT to use DTI criteria or if you are unable to meet the requirements of an conventional loan this loan program may be the right one for you.
