Post: DSCR Loan insight

DSCR loans won't use your income to underwrite the loan.

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

Here's a bit more in detail about how rates are calculated for DSCR loans:

1. Credit score- the higher the best. 760-780+ generally gets best pricing for investment property loans with most lenders. From there every 20 point increment affect pricing differently. So for example, a 761 credit score will be in the 760-779 credit category, then going down to 740-759 and so on.

2. Loan to value ratio: The higher the loan to value ratio (LTV) is, pricing takes a hit. So your pricing will be higher for a 80% LTV loan than for a 60% LTV loan.

3. Prepayment penalties- usually 1-5 year terms. The shorter the prepayment term has an impact on increasing the rate.

4. Are you cash flowing the property? More on how that is calculated below. Is your DSCR ratio greater than 1-meaning are you cash flowing (according to the lender's criteria of mortgage, property taxes and insurance (and HOA) if applicable). Many lenders will not do a DSCR loan unless cash flowing. If they will do a loan with less than 1, the pricing takes a hit. This criteria is for 1-4 and 5-8 unit programs.

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.

So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.

See example below:

DSCR < 1

Principal + Interest = $1,700

Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50

Total PITIA = $2200

Rent = $2000

DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91

Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.

DSCR >1

Principal + Interest = $1,500

Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25

Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300

DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23

If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable). If a cash out refinance, many lenders will allow the cash out to satisfy the reserves requirement.

DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC. It's a great way to increase your net worth and these loans can also be used to pull cash out of a property as it appreciates allowing you to reinvest money into new deals.

DSCR rates vary based on the below. Besides what's mentioned below a single family rental will have a different rate compared to a 2-4 unit (sometimes more distinctions than that depending on the lender) for the same borrower profile of credit score, etc.

There are 80% LTV cash out refinance options and 85% LTV for a single family rental purchase if the property is cash flowing (DSCR ratio of 1) and the credit score is high enough. The rate goes up by about 1% when there's a jump from 75% to 80% LTV for cash out and 80% to 85% for a purchase.

There are jumbo loans that have 10% down payment options if the credit score is 680 and above for a $2 million or less loan amount. This program applies to single family homes, condos, 2-4 units and PUDs. The program requires the debt to income (DTI) ratio to be 45% or less when comparing overall eligible monthly income to debt.

Loans are underwritten by Fannie Mae’s Desktop Underwriter (DU) or Freddie Mac’s Loan Product Advisor (LPA) which based on the loan application will decide on reserves needed. 

DU and LPA are automated underwriting systems (AUS) is used to assess mortgage applicants' eligibility. This is done by comparing the information on the loan application to the guidelines. The loan application information is then verified during underwriting by income documents such as pay stubs or tax returns.
