Can DSCR Loans Apply to Off-Market Homes?

[Davon Broadwater]

Hello,

I am thinking about using a DSCR loan for my first rental property, and I know a Conventional loan cannot be used on distressed properties. I have an investor- friendly agent that have homes (not distressed) that isn't on the MLS. Can I use a DSCR loan for these homes?

Generally is going to be OK the only issue is that it can be challenging to confirm the transaction is truly arms-length on an off-market deal and I believe all DSCR Lenders do require Arms-Length transactions. If everything is above board and can be pretty well documented its likely workable for at least us (but I'd imagine same with a good amount of DSCR Lenders)
