Prepayment Penalty Rules for DSCR Loans in Iowa

Prepayment Penalties are Fully Allowed with no restrictions for DSCR Loans in Iowa. Iowa Statutes governing consumer lending, such as Iowa Code § 537.2501, are applicable only to consumer credit transactions — defined as loans made primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. Since DSCR Loans are strictly for investment use, these limitations do not apply. As such, DSCR Lenders can typically offer all standard prepayment penalty options such as Descending Prepay Penalties (i.e. “5/4/3/2/1”), Flat Prepay (i.e. 5/5/5/5/5) or even California-Style (i.e. 6 Months Interest, 20% Freely Prepayable, 5 Year Duration) in the Hawkeye State.
