Frequently Asked Questions from San Rafael DSCR Loan Clients

What is a DSCR loan and why is it ideal for San Rafael investors?

A Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan allows you to qualify based on the investment property's projected rental income rather than your personal income or tax returns. This is perfect for San Rafael investors looking to scale their portfolio without DTI limitations, especially for properties designed for long-term rentals or short-term vacation rentals where the property generates significant income.

How fast can I get funded for a DSCR loan in San Rafael?

While DSCR loans are not as rapid as hard money, our process is highly efficient. We typically close DSCR loans in 15-30 business days, which is considerably faster and less demanding than traditional mortgage options, allowing you to quickly capitalize on investment opportunities in San Rafael and Marin County.

What types of properties qualify for a DSCR loan in San Rafael?

We offer DSCR loans for a wide range of income-generating properties in San Rafael, including single-family homes, 2-4 unit properties, multi-family apartment buildings, and even short-term rental properties. The key is that the property's rental income must cover its monthly debt service.

Do you require an appraisal for San Rafael DSCR loan properties?

Yes, traditional appraisals are typically required for DSCR loans to accurately assess the property's value and its market rental income potential. However, we work with a network of efficient appraisers to ensure the process is as smooth and quick as possible for your San Rafael investment.
