Frequently Asked Questions from Santa Fe DSCR Clients
What is a DSCR loan and why is it ideal for Santa Fe rental properties?
A Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan is a non-QM (non-qualified mortgage) loan specifically designed for real estate investors. It qualifies borrowers based on the rental income generated by the investment property covering the new mortgage payment, rather than the borrower's personal income. This is ideal for Santa Fe's growing rental market, especially for investors looking to finance 1-4 unit residential properties or small multi-family homes without the lengthy documentation required by traditional banks.
How is the DSCR ratio calculated for my Santa Fe investment?
The DSCR ratio is calculated by dividing the property's gross monthly rental income by its total monthly debt service (principal, interest, property taxes, insurance, and HOA fees, if applicable). For example, if a Santa Fe property generates $2,500 in rental income and the total monthly debt service is $2,000, the DSCR is 1.25 ($2,500 / $2,000). A DSCR of 1.0x means the property's income exactly covers its debt. We typically look for a DSCR of 1.0x or higher.
Do you require personal income verification for DSCR loans in Santa Fe?
No, a key benefit of DSCR loans is that they typically do not require personal income verification through pay stubs, W2s, or tax returns. The primary focus for qualification is the subject property's projected rental income relative to its expenses. This makes DSCR loans particularly attractive for self-employed investors or those with complex income structures in the Santa Fe area.
What types of residential properties qualify for DSCR loans in Santa Fe County?
We provide DSCR loans for a wide range of residential investment properties in Santa Fe County, including single-family homes, 2-4 unit multi-family properties, small apartment buildings (up to 20 units), condominiums, and townhouses. Both long-term rental properties and short-term rentals (like Airbnb or VRBO) are eligible, allowing investors to capitalize on Santa Fe's strong tourism market.
