Frequently Asked Questions from Lakewood, WA DSCR Clients

What is a DSCR loan and why is it ideal for Lakewood, WA rental investors?

A Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan is an asset-based loan for investment properties where qualification is based on the property's ability to cover its own mortgage payments (its DSCR), not your personal income. It's ideal for Lakewood investors looking to buy or refinance rental properties without the complexities of traditional bank loans, especially for those with multiple properties or non-traditional income.

How fast can I get funded for a DSCR loan in Lakewood, WA?

While DSCR loans are not as fast as hard money, we pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Lakewood investment properties, funding can typically occur within 15-30 business days, sometimes faster for experienced borrowers with complete documentation. Our process is designed to be streamlined for rental property acquisitions and refinances.

What types of properties do you lend on with DSCR in Lakewood, WA?

We offer DSCR loans for a variety of investment properties in the Lakewood area, including single-family rental homes, 2-4 unit multi-family properties, apartment buildings (5+ units), and dedicated short-term rental properties. The key is that the property must be income-producing.

Do you require an appraisal for DSCR loans in Lakewood, WA?

Yes, for DSCR loans, a full appraisal is typically required to establish the property's market value and to provide a professional rent schedule. This helps us ensure the property's income can adequately cover the debt service, which is fundamental to DSCR loan qualification.
