Yes, that is pretty a pretty average rate for investment properties right now, and lower than rates have been in recent months. For a DSCR loan you won't need to provide a W-2 or any paystubs as underwriting is based off of the cashflow of the property itself.


 Thank you.

where do I normally apply DSCR loan?

Thank you all for the advice. I might go for 25% to see if I qualify for the better rate. At the same time, I am trying to keep some money for another property's down payment.

I am a newbie to BP. Thank you in advance for your responses and advice.

I am in process of purchasing a single family investment property in Charlotte. My credit score is an excellent and I have a great W2. I am trying to get conventional 30 years loan with 20% down.

I contacted 2 brokers. They gave me 7.5% with 1% cost.  Is this too high or this is current normal rate?

if anyone has a good recommendation, it would be greatly appreciated.

thank you 

 @Shak F.  Consider putting 25% down as that will lower the rate or costs and maybe both. 20% is the number most assume will get you the "best rate" as it is usually the target for owner occupied properties. But, for non-owner occupied is the target is 25% down. 

This is because of what are called loan level pricing adjustments. The chart below shows the additional cost for a base rate for situations including investment property. You will see the adjustment for 80% loan to value is 3.375% where with 25% down it is 2.125%.

 This really helpful :)

Quote from @Taylor Dasch:

Thats probably about right for an investment property, the interest rates that are advertised are typically based off of the best credit and you will also have a higher interest rate with it being an investment property. I'd speak to a few more lenders though just in case. 


 Thank you

Hello, 

I am buying an investment property for a first time from my agent. In this case, my agent is actually the seller.
