Post: Lending options for buying a flip under personal name vs LLC?

There are lenders that will lend to you in your personal name for a DSCR loan or a fix and flip loan. It depends on your research for cost, tax benefits etc as to what the right option is for you. You are correct that lenders will have you personally guarantee the loan. There are sometimes more costs associated with putting the loan in an LLC due to some lenders charging an LLC review fee to make sure your paperwork is done correctly. There is more paperwork reviewed in underwriting when the loan will be done for the LLC so make sure it's done correctly.

Post: Refinancing with hight DTI

- Lender

DSCR loans are a good option for an investment property if you have DTI concerns as DSCR loans won't use your income to underwrite the loan.
DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.
Here's a bit more in detail about how rates are calculated for DSCR loans:
1. Credit score- the higher the best. 760+ generally gets best pricing for investment property loans with most lenders
2. Loan to value ratio: The higher the loan to value ratio (LTV) is, pricing takes a hit. So your pricing will be higher for a 80% LTV loan than for a 60% LTV loan.
3. Prepayment penalties- usually 1-5 year terms. The shorter the prepayment term has an impact on increasing the rate.
4. Are you cash flowing the property? More on how that is calculated below. Is your DSCR ratio greater than 1-meaning are you cash flowing (according to the lender's criteria of mortgage, property taxes and insurance (and HOA) if applicable). Many lenders will not do a DSCR loan unless cash flowing. If they will do a loan with less than 1, the pricing takes a hit. This criteria is for 1-4 and 5-8 unit programs.
I've included an example below to help illustrate this.
So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.
See example below:
DSCR < 1
Principal + Interest = $1,700
Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50
Total PITIA = $2200
Rent = $2000
DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91
Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.
DSCR >1
Principal + Interest = $1,500
Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25
Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300
DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23
DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC. It's a great way to increase your net worth and these loans can also be used to pull cash out of a property as it appreciates allowing you to reinvest money into new deals.

Rates and fees are generally going to be higher for a under $100K loan amount as It's the same work to do a $55K loan as a $500K loan so the fees will be higher due to the loan amount but will still be much lower than what a lender or broker gets paid on a higher loan amount.
Some DSCR lenders will go down to a $75K value and a $50K loan amount.

@Frankie Perez, no prepayment penalty and 70% LTV are going to weigh on the rate because as the prepayment penalty is shortened and the LTV goes up that drives the rate up.
There are factors that really weigh into the rate including the length of the prepayment penalty and the LTV.

4. Are you cash flowing the property as far what factors the lender uses to underwrite the loan? Is your DSCR ratio greater than 1-meaning are you cash flowing when comparing the actual or projected monthly rent against the monthly mortgage, property taxes, insurance (and HOA if applicable). Many lenders will not do a DSCR loan unless cash flowing. If they will do a loan with less than 1, the pricing takes a hit.

@Brandon Gall, if an owner occupied property, I would recommend a bank statement loan or asset utilization loan depending on your specific finances. If an investment property, I would recommend a DSCR loan.
