Rental loans help real estate investors buy and hold for rental income or fix and flip for a quick profit.

Rental loan programs are skyrocketing in popularity in todays market. Investors interest is sparking with the competitive financing for residential properties and the Cash-Out refinancing available for investment properties.

The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) conducted a recent examination on rental housing using U.S. Census data. They found that 86% of rental properties in the U.S. are single family residences; two-to four-unit residences being the next most common type of rental property.

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 properties 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

DSCR (Debt service coverage ratio) is one of many financial ratios that lenders assess when considering a loan application. DSCR is an important ratio that helps indicate to the lender whether or not you will 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.

Here’s how to interpret your DSCR:

DSCR < 1: You have negative cash flow. You don’t have enough rental income to service the debt (New PITI payment).
DSCR = 1: You have exactly enough rental coming in to service the debt (New PITI payment), but you don’t have an additional cash cushion.
DSCR > 1: You have positive cash flow. The higher your DSCR, the more income you have to service the debt (New PITI payment).

Advantages & Disadvantages

1) Pros of No-Tax-Return Investment Property Loans

No tax returns required
No employment or income required
Personal or business income not considered
No debt-to-income (DTI) ratio developed or considered
Allows real estate investors and self-employed individuals to qualify when they otherwise cannot

2) Cons of No-Tax-Return Investment Property Loans

Larger down payment than traditional loans
Rates are slightly higher than traditional loans
Some (but not all) lenders require landlord experience
Personal credit still plays a role

Bottom Line

No-tax-return investment property loans are a great way to avoid hard money with a viable long-term financing solution for real estate investors. The lessened documentation and underwriting requirements are similar to hard money loans, while rates and fees are more akin to traditional loans.

Whereas traditional mortgage lending requires tax returns during the loan approval process, no-tax-return investment property loans do not. With these loans, real estate investors are able to purchase or refinance a property with no employment required, no personal income considered, and no debt-to-income ratio developed.

The only cash flow that matters is the rents of the property being financed. That’s it. If the monthly rents sufficiently cover the monthly expenses—principal, interest, taxes, insurances, and HOA dues (PITIA)—i.e., if the property DSCRs (debt services), the property will qualify.
