- Flexible Terms & Options: Whether you're acquiring a historic shotgun home, a multi-unit in the Irish Channel, or refinancing to pull cash out for new investments, our rental loan programs offer tailored terms to fit your strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions from New Orleans Rental Property Investors
What is a DSCR loan and why is it ideal for New Orleans rental properties?
A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan is designed specifically for investment properties, qualifying you based on the rental income the property generates, rather than your personal income or tax returns. This is ideal for New Orleans investors looking to expand their rental portfolio without impacting their personal debt-to-income ratio, making it easier to acquire multiple properties like historic multi-families or duplexes.
How fast can I get funded for a rental property in New Orleans?
While traditional banks can take months, Waterman Capital typically funds New Orleans rental loans within 10-20 business days. Our efficient process, combined with local market knowledge, allows us to quickly underwrite and close deals, getting you the capital you need to secure your next investment in neighborhoods like Gentilly or Holy Cross.
What types of rental properties do you lend on in NOLA?
We provide financing for a wide range of residential investment properties across New Orleans, including single-family homes, 2-4 unit multi-plexes (duplexes, triplexes, quads), and small multi-family buildings up to 20 units. We also lend on properties designated for short-term vacation rentals, depending on local zoning and regulations.
Do you require an appraisal for New Orleans rental loans?
Yes, for our rental loan programs, a full appraisal conducted by a state-licensed appraiser is typically required. This ensures an accurate and independent valuation of the property and its rental potential in the specific New Orleans market, confirming the LTV and DSCR requirements for your loan.
