Quote from @George P.:
I find it may be pretty easy to qualify for a DSCR loan with good credit score and lots of equity - or so
I'm told. I'd like to find a good private/direct lender because brokers may not know what the lender
will accept until you submit everything. I keep reading loan nightmares on TrustPilot.
Can anyone out there recommend a direct lender whose forthright and has good
pricing that you've dealt with and it all came out good? THANKS!
Every big lender that offers DSCR loans are going to sell them off.
A good broker knows where to put your loan after the initial interview. You're right to have concerns, but we look at every scenario like the borrower is a chip on Plinko (like on The Price is Right). We drop your information into the top of the Plink board and every peg it hits on the way down moves you closer toward your eventual lender.
Here's an example:
I have a guy right now that is buying 2 properties on the same loan. He has marginal credit, but decent cash. I got him a blanket loan, but the rate is terrible (11.25%) because of his credit.
Another guy is buying a single family property in TX and has great credit, it' a 1031 exchange and he has lots of experience. His rate is 6.75% with a cost of 3 points (1 for a rate buy down and the other two are origination points).
I wouldn't expect the guy with great credit to go with the same lender as the guy with beat up credit and he didn't because I know my lender's guidelines.
All the best
