Frequently Asked Questions About Los Alamos DSCR Loans
What is a DSCR loan and how does it benefit Los Alamos investors?
A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan is a non-QM loan designed for real estate investors. It qualifies the borrower based on the rental income generated by the investment property covering the mortgage payment, rather than the borrower's personal income. For Los Alamos investors, this means easier qualification, faster closing, and the ability to scale your portfolio without hitting DTI limits from traditional banks.
What types of properties in Los Alamos qualify for a DSCR loan?
We primarily lend on residential investment properties in Los Alamos and the surrounding areas. This includes single-family homes (1-4 units), small multi-family properties (up to 20 units), condos, and townhomes. Both long-term rental (LTR) and short-term rental (STR) properties are eligible, allowing investors to capitalize on Los Alamos's diverse rental market.
Do I need to verify my personal income for a Los Alamos DSCR loan?
No, one of the key advantages of a DSCR loan is that we do not require personal income verification (like W2s, pay stubs, or tax returns). Qualification is based on the subject property's projected rental income (verified via a rent schedule or appraisal) being sufficient to cover the property's debt service (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and HOA dues).
How is the DSCR ratio calculated for Los Alamos properties?
The DSCR is calculated by dividing the property's gross monthly rental income by its total monthly debt service (PITI + HOA, if applicable). A DSCR of 1.0 means the income exactly covers the debt. Most lenders prefer a DSCR of 1.20 or higher, but we offer flexible options for lower DSCRs, including properties with slightly negative cash flow, depending on the overall loan terms and borrower profile.
