Frequently Asked Questions from Erie County Rental Investors
What is a DSCR loan and why is it ideal for Erie County rental properties?
A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan is a non-qualified mortgage product that allows investors to qualify for financing based on the rental income generated by the property, rather than the borrower's personal income. It's ideal for the Erie County market because it offers a faster, more flexible way for landlords to acquire or refinance rental properties in Buffalo and surrounding areas without traditional income verification, making it perfect for portfolio growth.
How is the DSCR calculated for properties in Erie County?
The Debt Service Coverage Ratio is calculated by dividing the property's gross rental income by its total monthly debt obligations (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and HOA fees, if applicable). For instance, if a property generates $2,000 in monthly rent and its PITI is $1,500, the DSCR would be 1.33 ($2,000 / $1,500). We typically look for a DSCR of 1.0 or higher for most loans, indicating sufficient cash flow to cover the debt.
What types of rental properties do you finance in Erie County with DSCR loans?
We primarily finance residential investment properties in Erie County, including single-family rental homes, duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes. We also consider small multifamily apartment buildings. Our focus is on income-generating properties that demonstrate strong cash flow potential in the Buffalo and Western New York rental market.
How fast can I close on a DSCR loan in the Buffalo / Erie County area?
While DSCR loans are faster than many conventional options, the timeline can vary. We pride ourselves on efficiency and aim to close DSCR loans for qualified Erie County properties within 10-20 business days. This speed is a significant advantage for investors looking to quickly expand their portfolios or capitalize on market opportunities in Western New York.
