Frequently Asked Questions from Merrillville DSCR Clients
What is a DSCR loan and why is it ideal for Merrillville investors?
A Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan is a non-QM mortgage for real estate investors, where eligibility is primarily based on the investment property's cash flow, not the borrower's personal income. It's ideal for Merrillville investors because it simplifies financing for rental properties, allowing for quick scaling of portfolios without extensive personal income documentation, perfect for Merrillville's stable rental market.
What types of Merrillville properties qualify for your DSCR loans?
We provide DSCR financing for a wide range of investment properties in Merrillville, including single-family homes (1 unit), duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes (2-4 units), and small multi-family properties with up to 20 units. This includes properties intended for both long-term tenants and short-term rentals.
How is the DSCR calculated for a Merrillville rental property?
The DSCR is calculated by dividing the property's gross rental income (or projected rental income, for purchases) by the total debt service (principal, interest, taxes, and insurance - PITI). For example, if a property's annual net operating income is $15,000 and the total annual debt service is $12,000, the DSCR would be 1.25x. We typically look for a DSCR of 1.1x or higher for Merrillville properties.
Do I need to live in Merrillville or Indiana to qualify for a DSCR loan there?
No, you do not need to be an Indiana resident to secure a DSCR loan for an investment property in Merrillville. Our DSCR loan programs are designed for real estate investors from across the country looking to invest in attractive markets like Merrillville, focusing on the property's performance rather than the borrower's primary residence.
