Have you guys noticed the rate drops on the DSCR loan side? Or do they keep them higher now thats the 30 year conventional is dropping.

Drops have pricing from 6’s+. Things like credit, DSCR, ltv, and prepayment penalty will affect rate ranges 
Quote from @Lauren Stark:

Hello! I have an off-market opportunity and want to jump on it! It is an a-frame in WI I want to turn into an STR. I have $70K of my own money I can use as a down-payment, but am looking for someone to finance the rest ($280K) as I'm a real estate agent and am having difficulty securing a loan from a traditional bank in a timely matter. I'd like to purchase as soon as possible. Does anyone have advice on creative ways to secure financing in a short amount of time?

A DSCR loan could be a great option from initial glance. Reach out if we can be of assistance and take a look for you.

Looking for some companies that can lock me in to a long term mortgage so I can get out from multiple ARM/balloon rates every 3 yrs. Properties in MS and TN

Happy to look at a portfolio loan (30-year term) or individual ones on the entire package. Let’s get you out of that balloon!

Quote from @Anna Doumkina:

My boyfriend and I are looking to purchase 5-10 properties in the next 12 months that will be then rented to Section 8 tenants. If we find good financing, we can purchase the houses in the next few months. This is in Ohio State.

I do not anticipate the purchase price to be higher than 80,000 USD. However, here is the tricky part. My boyfriend is a foreign national with an ITIN number, US address, and an AMEX in the USA, but he is not a US citizen, so a lot of the times, he is not offered good loan programs. I am a US citizen with a 680 credit score (actually, credit karma shows 680 for one bureau and 710 for another bureau), but I haven't worked in the USA for years, and overall, we are looking to get a DSCR loan. I have one Amex card showing up and a bunch of student loans - do banks take these as trades? Overall, I am trying to find a bank that can still do 85% LTV with this type of credit. Or if there are other nonconventional ways to find financing - please let me know! Since our goal is to scale in real estate and we do have the funds, we would prefer to minimize the deposits and invest into reno where necessary and keep the capital for now for improvements, if they arise. Thank you all in advance!


 Hi Anna,

We can do 80% ltv in this price range and regular do one or more properties for clients in OH markets. Please reach out if my team can help.

Quote from @John Currey:

I recently talked with a mortgage broker and me and my wife didn't qualify for a loan on  an investment property. I'm honestly surprised, right now our only debt payment is a 857 mortgage, no car payment no student loans no credit card debt, and good credit 740's. she doesn't make just a lot (41k a year) but with the 857 mortage payment, her debt to income shouldn't be much over 25%. Would we not qualify for a 55k loan? 

Did they give any additional details? Sometimes it’s hard to get a lower loan to qualify in general. As others have said, DSCR is an option. We go down to a 75k value/purchase price for example and some of the same tests that a loan this size may fail for a standard mortgage would not be an issue.
Quote from @Justin Bettano:

Evening, 


I am in the process of acquiring a short to mid term rental in the somewhat local vacation/ tourist destinations in my region. I want to utilize either a 2nd home type product or investment property product. I was reading about DSCR loans and they seem like a great tool for cash flowing properties.

My ultimate question is does anyone know if there is a property criteria for these products? Can it be a single condo or apartment. 

Anything helps BP community, thanks ! 

Best, 

Justin 

Property type can sometimes matter. For example, condos may require more money down on a DSCR loan, especially if it non-warrantable. In general, a single family home can do up to 80% loan to value. The biggest reason to go DSCR versus second home would likely be qualifications. DSCR loans are usually much easier to qualify for since they're not based on your income.

Quote from @Piper Pepperidge:

Most lenders impose a minimum 100-150k lending amount, even less will go below the minimum and lend on an LLC. And 60-90k is also typically too low for dscr loans. Wondering if anyone knows any good places?

Stacy did a phenomenal job breaking things down! We can do DSCR down to a 75k value / 50k loan size in most markets. Fees are higher on a proportional basis, but it does make sense in some markets (particularly the Midwest in my opinion). One tricky part that often happens in this price range is dealing with deferred maintenance. Often times the best “deals” require some work to get them rent ready.

I hope this helps!

Quote from @Elias Hay:

looking to expand my rental portfolio by looking at properties in St. Louis and Indiana. most of the properties been viewed are between 70 and $100,000. Are there lender recommendations that do loans under 80,000? especially DSCR?

We can do DSCR down to 50k loan amount / 75k value. As many have said though, the fees are proportionally higher on a smaller loan (after all $1000 is 2% of a $50,000 loan). However, it’s certainly a viable option for the right situations and markets. In MO there is usually a pricing adjustment compared to IN markets. 
Quote from @Dulce Davis:

I hear that it's hard to find someone in Texas who will do blanket mortgages. Another lender who is also an investor, says its really not allowed in our area but she knows it happens. What are y'alls opinions on blanket mortgages?

I have 5 SFRs so far. Four mortgages have a balance around $90-100K, with values ranging $135-165. One property has no mortgage. I'm wondering if it would be an option in my situation to do a blanket loan for scaling. Or, just keep going as I am, doing delayed lending to cash out after I make repairs and get a tenant in them. Pros vs cons?

Portfolio or blanket mortgages are a great tool in the right setting. They can be convenient to do (one loan versus 5 in this example) and save on processing costs (versus an individual loan). However, you marry the properties together for better or worse. One particular pain point investors find is selling or refinancing one property out of the bundle. There is normally a partial release premium that requires you to pay additional proceeds towards the remaining properties in the loan. That can be particularly tricky in our current environment.

We assisted with many of these during low rate environments where the loan was planned as a very long term option. In todays market, they are most popular when purchasing a larger bundle, needing flexibility on a bundle (lower purchase prices being allowed for example), or when cross collateralizing equity as downpayment.
Quote from @Rob Wallace:

I'm looking to purchase a rental property in Cincinnati. My partner and I are unmarried and have set up an LLC with each of us as 50% members. We would like to purchase the property through the LLC with financing directly to the LLC.

We spoke with a credit union who said that would be possible; however the loan was not approved due to both of us being NY residents. The LLC is an Ohio entity with an agent located in Ohio, and we also have local property management. 

Is there any way we can amend our operating agreement/LLC structure in order to anonymize our addresses? Potentially a PO Box in OH for our addresses?

If anyone could recommend a lender who would be willing to loan directly to an LLC, that would be greatly appreciated!

A DSCR loan is a perfect fit, plenty of lenders like myself able to help.

For your anonymity, consider consulting with your attorney.
