DSCR Loan Rate Structure (Fixed vs. Floating vs. Hybrid (Fixed to ARM))

The rate structure is another important aspect to understand about DSCR Loans, especially if you are exploring a structure beyond the overwhelmingly standard Fixed Rate option, which is simply an unchanging interest rate for the life of the loan and representative of the vast majority (estimated to be more than 95%) of DSCR Loans.

Loan structures that are Floating Rate, or when the interest rate changes from month to month or year to year during the life of the loan, are common in commercial real estate, business financing and in residential financing in the pre-QM era of the early 2000s, but are now pretty much nonexistent for DSCR Loans.

However, for advanced borrowers however, a Hybrid (Fixed to ARM) option has emerged as a potential choice. This option combines fixed and floating rate structures to balance protections against rate spikes with the ability to take on some additional floating rate risk to achieve more optimized loan terms. This structure is a "hybrid" where the loan starts out with a fixed rate for several of the first years of the term, then switches to a floating structure (albeit with some limits) after a certain milestone, typically after five or seven years of payments are made. The date where the loan changes from fixed rate to floating rate is usually lined up with the prepayment penalty period duration, so that the fixed rate period is the same as the period there would be fees due with an early prepayment. This is helpful for borrowers so that if rates move higher during the fixed-rate period of the loan term, and the loan's interest rate increases when the floating rate period begins, they are able to refinance the property without worrying about any prepayment penalty fees.
