Congratulations on completing the your first real estate investment! It sounds like you've taken an important first step in this industry. My own experience was a bit bumpier, but I'm happy for you.

Regarding hard money vs DSCR, hard money is typically used for cash financing, while DSCR is used as a refinancing option if conventional financing is not an option. From my discussions with lenders, they typically require rental history to verify the NOI (Net Operating Income) / total debt service or the debt service coverage ratio


Thank you!! I was thinking DSCR for not having to utilize any credit. What other conventional options are there to utilize so it is not effecting DTI?

Unfortunately for entrepreneurs, all conventional loans measure DTI. Instead of DTI, DSCR loans measure the properties ability to pay back the loan. They all look at your credit at some level

 Yeah, its all a pain sometimes lol. Trying to put more on the business burden then myself.

DSCR is really the main option that will not use DTI. Can you clarify what you mean on "not having to utilize any credit"? DSCR lenders will still pull credit, but if you borrow through an LLC then it won't show up on your personal credit report


 Yes, that is what I mean.
