Why Choose DSCR Loans for STR Investors?
• Easier Qualification: Approvals focus on the property's income potential, not your personal financials. Use our DSCR Calculator to evaluate your property's potential qualification.
• Quick Closings: Streamlined underwriting accelerates approvals, helping you secure properties faster.
• Flexible Terms: Competitive rates, low down payments, and adjustable terms cater to STR-specific needs.
• Repeatable for Growth: DSCR loans can be used repeatedly, enabling you to scale your STR portfolio efficiently.
When Conventional Financing Makes Sense
• Primary Residence Loans (House-Hack): Perfect for investors planning to live in one unit of a property while renting out others to generate income.
• Second Home Loans: A great option for those seeking to purchase a vacation property that combines personal use with short-term rental income.
• Investor Loans: Designed for traditional income properties, these loans provide predictable terms for long-term rental investments. For investors choosing the conventional path, most will rely on an investor loan to build their portfolios, leveraging personal income and credit to finance rental properties.
