Hi Carlo,As mentioned DSCR loans vary widely based off of numerous factors, credit, LTV, Prepay type, DSCR Ratio, just to name a few.However, I am seeing rates as low as 6.625% now on DSCR products in a perfect scenario.In scenarios with low credit scores, high LTV's and short prepays we can easily be in the 9's.When looking for a DSCR loan to fit your needs, I recommend getting in touch with someone who knows what they are doing to pencil the loan in your best interest.Glad to connect and get into more detail!
