Frequently Asked Questions from Millbrae Investors
What is a DSCR loan and why is it ideal for Millbrae rental property investors?
A Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan is a non-QM (Non-Qualified Mortgage) loan designed specifically for real estate investors. It allows you to qualify primarily based on the investment property's projected rental income relative to its debt obligations, rather than your personal income or tax returns. For Millbrae's robust rental market, DSCR loans are ideal because they offer a streamlined way for investors – especially those with multiple properties, complex financial situations, or self-employment – to acquire or refinance properties quickly and efficiently, expanding their portfolios without traditional income hurdles.
What types of Millbrae properties qualify for your DSCR loans?
We specialize in DSCR financing for residential investment properties across Millbrae and San Mateo County. This includes single-family homes (1-unit), small multi-unit properties (2-4 units), and even small multifamily apartment buildings (up to 20 units). We also lend on properties intended for short-term rental use (like Airbnb or VRBO), allowing investors to leverage their property's potential income.
What DSCR ratio is typically required for a Millbrae investment property?
While specific requirements can vary based on loan product and market conditions, we generally look for a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.25x or higher. This means the property's gross rental income, as determined by a market rent appraisal, should be at least 125% of its monthly principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and HOA dues (PITIA). We assess this to ensure the property is a strong cash-flowing asset.
How fast can I get funded for a DSCR loan in Millbrae?
While DSCR loans are not as rapid as hard money loans, Waterman Capital prides itself on an efficient and transparent process. We aim to close Millbrae DSCR loans within 15-30 business days, which is significantly faster than many traditional bank financing options that can often take 45-60 days or more. Our streamlined approach ensures you can act decisively in the competitive Millbrae investment landscape.
