Frequently Asked Questions from Mercer County DSCR Loan Clients
What is a DSCR loan and why is it ideal for Mercer County investors?
A DSCR loan (Debt Service Coverage Ratio loan) is a non-QM mortgage designed for investment properties, where loan approval is primarily based on the property's projected rental income covering its mortgage payments, rather than the borrower's personal income. It's perfect for Mercer County investors who want to expand their portfolio without the typical hurdles of traditional income verification, making it easier to acquire rental properties in areas like Harrodsburg with solid rental demand.
How fast can I get funded for a DSCR loan in Mercer County?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Mercer County investment properties, we typically fund DSCR loans within 10-20 business days. This is considerably faster than conventional bank loans, providing you with a competitive edge in securing desirable rental properties or executing timely refinances.
What types of properties do you lend on in Mercer County with DSCR loans?
We offer DSCR loans for a wide range of residential investment properties across Mercer County, including single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and small multi-family properties up to 20 units. This encompasses properties intended for both long-term and short-term rentals (e.g., Airbnb, VRBO).
Do you require an appraisal for Mercer County properties with DSCR loans?
Yes, for DSCR loans on Mercer County properties, a full appraisal conducted by a licensed appraiser is typically required. This provides an accurate valuation of the asset and its rental income potential, which is crucial for determining the loan amount and verifying the Debt Service Coverage Ratio.
What is the minimum DSCR ratio you require for properties in Mercer County?
Our minimum DSCR ratio can vary slightly based on the specific loan program and borrower profile, but generally, we look for a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.00x or higher. This means the property's projected gross rental income should at least cover its mortgage payments (principal, interest, taxes, and insurance). A higher DSCR often results in more favorable loan terms.
