DSCR lending tightened quietly.
Most lenders didn’t announce it.
But underwriting behavior changed.
What used to pass at ~1.10 DSCR often doesn't anymore, especially once lenders:
– Stress vacancy even on stabilized assets
– Normalize expenses instead of using historicals
– Underwrite taxes and insurance forward
– Add reserve and rate buffers
Same borrower. Same asset type. Different outcome.
🎥 We just published a short video explaining:
– Why DSCR approvals shifted without warning
– What assumptions lenders changed behind the scenes
– How to reframe older deal structures so they still fit today
This applies to DSCR loans, small multifamily portfolios, bridge-to-DSCR exits, and cash-out refis.
📌 Past approvals don’t carry forward.
📌 DSCR is cyclical, not static.
📩 DM us "SHIFT" and we'll tell you which DSCR lenders tightened - and how to reposition your deal so it still closes.
