Beeline for DSCR loan
Just wanted to reach out to the BP community and see if anyone has done DSCR loan through BeeLine? If so what was your experience like?

Not sure what transpired on this loan, or if it did even transpire, but I would give two pieces of advice here regarding DSCR lending, one of which specifically for STRs:
1. Bigger Pockets has a list of recommended DSCR lenders that they themselves have vetted/are comfortable reccomending. That is a great place to start.
2. When seeking DSCR debt for STRs, some key questions you should be asking your lender are:
- Can you underwrite with AirDNA? If so, are there any restrictions (i.e occupancy, market grade, etc, if DSCR is below 1.00x, etc.)
- Can you underwrite with historical booking history? If so, do you need a full year of booking history to underwrite using historicals?
- Can you use an STR based 1007? This really only exists in vacation markets but worth asking to make sure your t's are crossed and i's are dotted.
- What happens if the property appraises as rural? Again, this will only apply to properties in specific markets where the asset could be considered "rural" but if there's even a slight doubt/chance that the property could appraise rural, make sure you understand, what, if anything, are the ramifications.
