DSCR Loans: How To Use Pro Strategies To Save More And Make More
In January, we published an article about DSCR loans, a product increasingly used by more and more real estate investors to scale their portfolios.
Known for easy qualification and light documentation standards (no income verification, no DTI requirements, no tax returns, etc.), sophisticated real estate investors are continuing to utilize DSCR loan options after maxing out on conventional financing options or simply finding it's not worth trading the time and hassle of a bank qualification for the slightly lower rates.
The previous article outlined the basics of how to best position yourself as a DSCR loan borrower to get the best rates and terms on your DSCR loans. Quick recap: the rates and terms are primarily driven by three main metrics:
- Loan-To-Value (LTV) Ratio
- Debt-Service-Coverage-Ratio (DSCR) Ratio
- FICO/credit score
While the rate you're going to be quoted is going to be mainly driven by those three factors, there are several other pieces to the puzzle that can also change the terms offered. The savvy DSCR loan borrower will use all the options available to optimize terms, especially in volatile rate environments like today, where every little bit of rate matters in securing profitable investments!
This article will walk through the more advanced strategies real estate investors can use to minimize their rates on DSCR loans and secure the best long-term financing for their portfolios.
