Frequently Asked Questions from Garden City DSCR Clients
What is a DSCR loan and why is it ideal for Garden City investors?
A Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan is a type of investment property loan that qualifies borrowers based on the rental income generated by the property, rather than their personal income. It's ideal for Garden City investors because it allows for faster, simpler approvals, no personal income verification, and enables scaling portfolios without impacting personal debt-to-income ratios, perfect for the stable rental market in Garden City.
What types of properties in Garden City qualify for a DSCR loan?
We lend on a wide range of non-owner occupied residential investment properties in Garden City and surrounding areas. This includes single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, quads, and small multi-family properties (up to 20 units). The key is that the property must be rented out or intended for rental purposes.
How is the DSCR calculated for my Garden City rental property?
The Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) is calculated by dividing the property's gross rental income by its total monthly debt service (principal, interest, taxes, and insurance - PITI). For example, if a property generates $1,500 in monthly rent and its PITI is $1,200, the DSCR would be 1.25. Lenders typically look for a DSCR of 1.0 or higher, with preferred ratios often around 1.10 to 1.25.
Do you require an appraisal for Garden City DSCR loans?
Yes, for DSCR loans, a standard appraisal is typically required. This helps us accurately assess the property's market value and determine the estimated rental income, which are crucial components for underwriting DSCR loans. We work with experienced appraisers familiar with the Garden City real estate market to ensure efficiency.
Can I use a DSCR loan for a refinance in Garden City?
Absolutely. DSCR loans are excellent for both purchases and refinances in Garden City. You can use them for a cash-out refinance to pull equity out of your existing rental properties for new investments, or for a rate-and-term refinance to improve your cash flow or secure a more favorable interest rate on your current rental property mortgages.
