Frequently Asked Questions from Boston Rental Property Clients
What is a DSCR loan and how does it benefit Boston rental investors?
A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan is a non-QM (Qualified Mortgage) loan designed for real estate investors. It primarily uses the subject property's projected rental income to qualify the borrower, meaning your personal income or W2 doesn't heavily factor in. For Boston investors, this means you can scale your portfolio more easily, even if you have multiple existing mortgages or are self-employed, as long as the property generates sufficient cash flow in this high-demand market.
What types of rental properties do you finance in Boston?
We specialize in financing a variety of residential investment properties across Boston and surrounding areas. This includes single-family homes, 2-4 unit multi-family properties (duplexes, triplexes, quads), small apartment buildings up to 20 units, condos, and townhouses. Our focus is on the property's income-generating potential and the strong rental demand in Boston's neighborhoods.
Do you consider my personal income or DTI for these loans?
One of the primary advantages of our DSCR rental loans is that they are asset-based. While we verify employment or source of funds, we typically do not require personal income verification (tax returns, W2s) or calculate your personal debt-to-income (DTI) ratio. This makes financing easier and faster for experienced investors or those with non-traditional income sources, focusing instead on the property's ability to cover its own expenses in the stable Boston rental market.
Can I use a rental loan for a property in Cambridge or other Greater Boston areas?
Absolutely! While this page focuses on Boston, our rental loan programs extend to the broader Greater Boston metropolitan area, including popular investment locations like Cambridge, Somerville, Everett, Quincy, and Brookline. We understand the interconnectedness of these markets and can help you finance properties throughout the region. Just let us know the property's location, and we'll guide you through the process.
