DSCR loans for $50-$80k purchase price

Greetings! 

My partner and I visited Detroit MI this past weekend and found 2 deals:

TRIPLEX for $50k with ARV of $130k with one unit already rented at $1000 & the other two needing about $30k to rehab. Address is 13000 Plymouth Rd Detroit, MI 48227.

DUPLEX at $75k. Duplex, ARV $100-$127k both units empty, one is ready to rent and the other needs about $15k rehabs rents at $1200 per unit, per our agents MLS info. 12190 Santa Rosa Drive, Detroit MI 48204.


We've been trying to get a DSCR Loan but keep hearing the purchase amount is too low. Any suggestions?

Hi Darnell,

With rehab required, you don't need a DSCR loan yet. You need to find short-term purchase and rehab financing (i.e. hard money or private lender) to acquire and improve the property. When rehab is done and the project is market-ready, you can either sell it or hold/refinance with long-term DSCR financing based on the market rental income on the post-rehab condition. The good news is that purchase and rehab loan size minimums are lower than DSCR minimums.

DSCR is about long-term financing, not short-term purchase and rehab financing. There is no debt service coverage when a property is vacant/distressed and in need of rehab to produce a rental income situation.

    SO many people here with opinions that know nothing about Detroit. There are for sure DSCR lenders that lend down to 50k. And the person who said Detroit property rents are so low and won't work for DSCR debt is on crack.


    Cameron would you mind naming a few lenders that offer DSCR loans with 50K min? Specifically asking for Detroit area.


    Check out the folks at Mino Lending in Detroit. I know Cedar Neeley over there pretty well and they are one of the only lenders I know of doing loans of this size.

    Hi Darnell:

    I can help you with loan amounts down to $55,000 on DSCR loans. We require 20% down, so that would make or minimum purchase price $68,750

    Hi Mike, can we connect? I may have the need for a loan. Thanks!

    Hi Darnell,


    we allow loan amounts as low as 75k. Not only that, we allow up to 6% seller concessions. Yes…6! This is huge for investment properties. This can cover most if not all of your closings costs. If you want in, please feel free to reach out and I can pair you up with one of my mortgage brokers and we can help you out. We’d close the loans with me as I’m the lender. And I also know plenty of realtors if you wanted to connect with one as well.

    Hi Darnell! I have a great investment lender that is licensed in Michigan, and she does 100% financed fix and flip, that you are able to refy into a DSCR loan. These properties seem to have potential. Message me if you want me to connect you with her! :) Good luck!

    Can you recommend a hard money lender in mind?


     Were you able to find private or hard koney lenders who lends less than 75k?
