Quote from @Jackie Nguyen:

hey folks, i have a primary home with a mortgage and an investment property with a tenant inside and no mortgage on it. I recently acquired a building that i will be turning into a restaurant. I want to either cashout refi or get a HELOC on the investment property for about 250-300k to use towards remodeling the new building. My concern is my DTI to include front and back end is about 60-65% is there anyway i can take some of the funds from the cash out refi or heloc to pay down my debt and lower my DTI as closing to actually qualify? Or would i not be qualified until i am within their DTI range? Thank in advance


You can typically have debts marked to be paid at closing if that is what you're looking to do. Eitherwise, a DSCR loan could be a fantastic tool in this scenario. Qualify based on your properties income versus your own and save the headache of DTI calculations.

Quote from @Skyler Shively:

Looking to scale my rental portfolio. I have been in the search of lenders with low or no minimums for purchase/ refi. Have found that most DSCR lenders have 75k-100k minimum loan amounts. I live in a cheaper market with a lot of sub-75k properties. Current lender have no minimums but the fees are high and they want 30% down. Looking to possibly connect with a new lender and discuss my options. Thanks!

Definitely a more niche type of product, but, incredibly useful, especially across the Midwest where many rental properties are less than 100k. Our minimum purchase price is 75k for 1-4 units in most states, not sure if that helps at all. Any lower than that and the costs of the mortgage are typically a very high percentage of the loan amount.

Quote from @Shakeh Haghnazarian:

Hello,

I am planning to start investing for rental properties ( maybe rent it to section 8) in Detroit MI. the properties I found are around 50k each and I can buy 2-3 of them ( with 20% down payment). I know it is near impossible to find a lender that would finance properties within this price range but I would appreciate any recommendations .

Thank you

This is definitely harder pressed to find. We do singular loans down to a 75k purchase price on 1-4 units consistently. We can often bundle several smaller properties into a portfolio loan, but, min loan size is usually 100k, which would require at least 3 in the 50k range.

Quote from @Kingsley Addo:

I have property I procured with hard money which is approaching the due time for me to refinance into a conventional loan. I got a quote from a company we decided to move forward with. This will be a DSCR loan. However, it appears we underestimated the annual taxes, so I am being told that after factoring in the higher taxes the property will not meet the DSCR requirements. Lender tells me my best option is to do a 10 year interest only with a 30 year term. I am new to RE investment and I am not sure if going the 10 year interest only is a good choice. I'm seeking advise on what my best options are? Thank you in advance

IO payments can make sense if it helps you stretch the DSCR to get a needed loan to value (ltv). These have been most popular for clients prioritizing cash out or leverage versus other things like cash flow, paying down debt, etc…
If you need a certain loan to value (ltv) to make the refinance work, it may be a good option. Either wise, you may want to explore a lower ltv. If you do IO payments, as others have said, ensure the IO term aligns with your investment strategy for that property.

Quote from @Nick Radwin:

Hello, I’m in the middle of securing my first multi family property. I have the funds, and 700 credit score, but unstable income.

What are the best options to lock in lending for this deal besides getting a co-signer? I’ve heard hard money lending, private lending, and gap lending could be answers to this situation. Are they good answers in your experience?

Or should I suck it up and try high down payment owner finance and say **** lending?

As many others have said, a debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) loan could be a great alternative. A lot of our clients who have unstable income, or low taxable income, rely on these as they scale their real estate portfolio. A DSCR loan will not look at your person debt to income (DTI) eliminating challenges posed by traditional loans.

Quote from @Collin Mitchell:

Does anyone have a lender that does DSCR with a short seasoning or no seasoning?

Im doing BRRRRs in St Louis and the rehabs are pretty short 2-4 weeks. 

Im looking for options to pull my cash out faster 

In most instances we are 90 days or less with seasoning. That is becoming the standard more and more as more folks look to recoup cash quickly on BRRRR’s.

What are the details of the flip? Purchase price, estimated rehab amount, and ARV?
