Generally if your property was under your personal name, most financial institutions would go up to 80% Combined Loan to Value (CLTV), but because of COVID 19.

That is a deal-killer for some groups and others will cut back leverage, so be prepared that way2) Make sure it is with a lender that is licensed in ID, it has some different rules up there so confirming ahead of time would be good.3) Include those monthly escrows into your monthly expense calculation, DSCR lenders do, so make sure you are on the same page4) With that, make sure that the lender you work with will go down to 1.0 on their DSCR if it is going to be tight.Good luck in your decision!

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 < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If 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).
