Frequently Asked Questions about Cambridge MA DSCR Loans
What is a DSCR loan and why is it ideal for Cambridge investment properties?
A Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan is a non-QM (non-qualified mortgage) loan specifically designed for real estate investors. It qualifies borrowers based on the rental income generated by the investment property, not the borrower's personal income. This is ideal for the strong rental market in Cambridge, MA, as it allows investors to acquire or refinance properties quickly, leveraging the property's own cash flow to secure financing.
Do I need personal income verification for a DSCR loan in Cambridge?
No, one of the primary benefits of a DSCR loan is that it **does not require personal income verification** (e.g., W2s, tax returns, pay stubs). The loan eligibility is determined by the property's ability to generate enough rental income to cover its mortgage payments, typically measured by the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR). This makes it an excellent option for self-employed investors or those with complex income structures in Cambridge.
What types of properties qualify for DSCR loans in Cambridge?
We lend on a wide range of investment property types in Cambridge, including single-family rentals (SFRs), multi-unit residential properties (2-4 units), apartment buildings (5+ units), and even short-term rental properties. The key is that the property must be non-owner occupied and generate sufficient rental income to meet the DSCR requirement.
How is the DSCR calculated for a Cambridge property?
The DSCR is calculated by dividing the property's gross rental income (or projected rental income, if vacant) by its total debt service (principal, interest, property taxes, insurance, and sometimes HOA fees). For example, if a property generates $3,000 in monthly rent and its debt service is $2,500, the DSCR would be 1.2x ($3,000 / $2,500). A DSCR of 1.0x or higher typically indicates that the property's income covers its expenses.
