The ugly truth about DSCR loans.

The ugly truth about DSCR loans.

Ambitious and hungry eyed investors are coming to me ready to get their first rental.

They can put down 20% and have a duplex they’re ready to househack.

And THAT is where it all goes down hill.

Many of my well intentioned investors don't realize DSCR loans require the homes to be non-owner occupied.

So that removes Househacking from the agenda.

If you're looking to live in a home and rent out another unit then an FHA could be a fine option.

But if you want to own a rental and use it as a source of income, not residency, then a DSCR is your way to go.

Curious- who has househacked before? 👇

      Correct. The property cannot be Owner Occupied.

      I'm not a lender but I'd reckon it could be to have solid rental income to pay the monthly payments.

      The borrower cannot live in the property at all. They will check your current living status and require that all your IDs, Bank Statement, etc.. match the address. They may also cut your LTV or increase the rate if this is your first time home purchase..
