When it comes to DSCR loans success can be based on how the Loan is set up. I am an Account Executive for the Lender. Success would be understanding the matrix for the the program and discuss with the broker any guidelines that can cause the loan to decline. Also it will be specific to the region where the loan is going to be done. A good loan will address up front if the loan will debt service or not and have contingencies accordingly. The are always multiple variables such as:
are the gift funds involved
Property type
condition of the property
Is it rural
Title seasoning
Reserves
LTV
What is the estimated DSCR ratio
Citizenship status: Foreign National, ITIN, Citizen, Resident, permanent residence
Does borrower have investor experience or not
Mortgage payment history called a VOM or proof of timely payments
Gift of equity or not
100% gift funds or does borrower have at least 5% down payment and their own reserves
how many acres does the property have?
Property type such as SFR, condo, unwarrantable condo, condotel and so on
And I can go on and on.
Success is set up front for smooth loan.
Hope this helps... can't tell you how many times I had to save DSCR loans that fell apart some where else.
Hope this helps shed some light in the matter.
