DSCR loans typically have higher rates, pre-payment penalties, and may not let you pull as much money out as you would like because they will be based on 2 factors: the appraised value of the home and how well the rent coming in can cover the PITI payment each month (Principal , interest, tax, insurance).

The real numbers are more complicated because while we count mortgage payments, the reality is some of that is for interest and the rest is against the principal, so really some is going to you in the long run, but is currently tied up as an expense.

I don't know the numbers on your property, so I'll create a hypothetical:Assume your principal and interest on a $300k loan is $1,263.You're sitting on the potential to get $155k (tax free, btw), but the rate will be 7.5%, taking you're principal and interest to $2,100.Yes, it's $900/month more, but you have $155k of tax free money in the bank.

Also, keep in mind that you should have enough profit (NOI minus principal and interest) to be able to realize a reasonable rate of return and still be able to set aside some money for capital expenditures - for example, money for new roofing, paving repairs for drives and parking areas, etc.In the end, you have to get to the other side of analysis though.
