Frequently Asked Questions from Berkley Rental Property Investors
What is a rental loan and why is it ideal for Berkley?
Rental loans, often called 'DSCR loans' (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) or investor loans, are designed specifically for properties held for investment purposes rather than owner-occupancy. They are ideal for Berkley because they focus on the property's ability to generate income, allowing investors to quickly acquire or refinance properties like single-family homes or duplexes without relying heavily on personal income verification. This speeds up the process and aligns with the buy-and-hold strategies common in Berkley.
