DSCR, before you write the offer
Run the ratio in two minutes. Investors who arrive with a coverage figure already calculated negotiate better and close faster, because they know what the financing costs at the moment of offer.

DSCR questions
Amara runs this desk and owns eleven doors of her own. If the deal does not work at any leverage, she will say so on the first call.
DSCR program detailA rental property loan qualified on the property's income rather than yours. Debt service coverage ratio is gross monthly rent divided by PITIA: principal, interest, taxes, insurance and any association dues. A $2,400 rent against a $2,000 PITIA is 1.20. There is no personal debt-to-income calculation and no tax returns.
Agency guidelines cap you at ten financed properties. DSCR does not cap you at all, which is why investors beyond their tenth door end up here. Blanket portfolio loans take five to forty properties under a single note.
Yes, on every investor product, at no additional charge. Members provide a personal guaranty and title goes into the entity at closing. Taking title personally and transferring later can trigger a due-on-sale clause, so we would rather do it correctly the first time.
Yes, with a documented twelve-month operating history from platform statements or a property manager's report. We underwrite to a trailing twelve-month average rather than peak season. Without that history we use long-term market rent from the appraiser's Form 1007 instead.
Our standard DSCR structure carries a 5/4/3/2/1 step-down, meaning 5% of the balance in year one falling to 1% in year five. It can be bought out in points at closing. If your holding period is under three years, price that buyout before you sign rather than after.
