Frequently Asked Questions from St. Louis DSCR Loan Clients
What is a DSCR loan and why is it ideal for St. Louis investors?
A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan is an investment property loan where eligibility is primarily based on the property's ability to generate enough rental income to cover its mortgage payment, rather than the borrower's personal income. It's ideal for St. Louis investors because it allows you to scale your portfolio without hitting DTI limits, perfect for the city's diverse and often affordable rental market with strong tenant demand.
How do I qualify for a DSCR loan in St. Louis?
Qualification for a St. Louis DSCR loan primarily depends on the subject property's projected rental income relative to its mortgage payment (the DSCR ratio, typically 1.0x to 1.25x or higher). We also consider your credit score, experience as an investor, and liquidity (reserves). The significant benefit is that we do not verify your personal income or debt-to-income ratio.
What types of residential properties do you lend on with DSCR in St. Louis?
We provide DSCR loans for a wide range of non-owner-occupied residential investment properties in St. Louis, including single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, quads (2-4 units), and small multifamily properties. We also finance short-term rentals (e.g., Airbnb properties) based on their potential income. Our focus is purely on investment properties that generate rental income.
Do you require an appraisal for St. Louis DSCR loans?
Yes, standard appraisals are typically required for DSCR loans to accurately assess the property's market value and determine the projected market rent. This allows us to calculate the DSCR ratio and LTV accurately. We work with experienced local St. Louis appraisers to ensure timely and reliable valuations for your investment properties.
