Best DSCR Lenders Personal References
Hello everybody. I'm looking at properties in Kentucky and Tennessee currently for LTR. I am looking to compare DSCR and conventional loan rates to see where I can get the best deal overall. My max purchase price will be $400,000, my FICO score is around 720 and Experian VantageScore is around 760. I am married as well and her scores are around the same as mine. I do have a mortgage currently in my name that I am in the process of having assumed, so currently my DTI is very high because of this. So, we will likely either do the DSCR route or conventional route in only her name. We have 20% to put down up to this price. Looking for recommendations from people who have personally used a specific lender and had good experience. Thanks in advance

Hi Andrew,
You will generally have better terms going the conventional route. There are no pre payment penalties on a conventional loan and when looking at the total finance charges, conventional is the way to go if you can qualify.
IF you don't qualify for a conventional loan then I would suggest looking for a DSCR loan. The rate will be slightly higher depending on the leverage and PPP. You are also able to close in an LLC/Corp with a DSCR loan.
