@Jason Taken I am in Sacramento CA and I am also looking for a referral. I purchased a property with a hard money loan in June and rehabbed the property with money and now it's a STR on airbnb. I want to refinance into DSCR loan with 80%LTV but there is no rental history. May have suggested bridge loan but rates are higher. Any suggestions? Referrals?

@Jason Taken hi Jason. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. I have 30+ units right now, and just heard about these types of loans and my eyes widened. I am always looking to buy and have several properties in mind. Is it still traditional 20% down on 4 or less units and anything over 5 25% down?

 Some things you should know when looking at a refinance: 

  1. You need to know your exact score. 680+ is the minimum. 720+ will give you the best rates for 30 yr fixed.
  2. You need to know your median market rent.
  3. Your comps need to be within a mile, and within 10% of the square footage of the subject property.

Let me know if you have any questions :)

None of this is universal for DSCR loans - many DSCR lenders will go down to 620 etc, have further comps...

 Hi Bud,

You'll find plenty of DSCR lenders here in the forums that can help you out! You can also find some in the Network tab above. I suggest doing research on them, reading their reviews, and seeing what they have to offer. You'll want to partner with a broker/lender that you can trust, build a relationship with, and succeed with. Every lender's DSCR program is very similar across the board, however, most have different guidelines and higher/lower pricing adjustments based on the actual loan parameters. You'll have to determine what's best for you and your goals - best rate, highest leverage, turn times, fees, and everything in between. Seeing as you already have 30+ units, I'm sure you know what you're doing. But nonetheless, best of luck to you!

 That's great for those lenders! What I'm saying is market for the current time we're in. It's not 2018, being conservative is the best option.

80% LTV on Cash-Out DSCR programs are out there, however, they are harder to find and tend to have a much higher costs than keeping leverage at around 70-75% LTV. From what I've found, different lenders have different requirements/guidelines when it comes to STRs. Some will require an actual operating history, while others will simply rely on AirDNA data. I suggest talking to a few different brokers/lenders to see what sort of options they have that can best suit your scenario and needs.

 Yeah - I think 80% Cash-Out Refinance for a Short Term Rental is pretty much nonexistent right now

Hi Bud, I've worked with @Kristen L Garner on multiple DSCR loans. She is the best - excellent communication, works through multiple scenarios with you, and always finds ways to save investors money. I was getting push back with other lenders who didn't want to run numbers for me all the time and Kristen ran numbers for me via text for every deal I was considering.
