DSCR loans underwrite to the income of the property, and do not require your personal income, taxes, debt-to-income ratio, etc.Of the 1,100+ loans that our team closed last year, I want to say that only 1% to 2% of those were closed in a borrower's personal name.So, it is pretty irregular for us to process an investment property loan under a personal name.Clients usually opt for closing in their personal name if they simply do not have an LLC established yet.
