Frequently Asked Questions from San Francisco DSCR Clients
What is a DSCR loan and why is it ideal for San Francisco rental investors?
A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan is a non-QM (non-qualified mortgage) loan designed for real estate investors. It qualifies borrowers based on the rental income generated by the investment property, rather than their personal income or tax returns. This makes it ideal for San Francisco investors looking to grow their rental portfolio without the extensive income documentation required by traditional lenders, especially useful for self-employed individuals or those with multiple properties.
How quickly can I get a DSCR loan funded for a San Francisco property?
While DSCR loans are faster than conventional bank loans, they still involve a full appraisal, which is a key component. Typically, we can fund DSCR loans for qualified San Francisco properties within 10-20 business days. Our streamlined process and dedicated team work to ensure a swift closing, helping you secure your Bay Area investment without unnecessary delays.
What types of San Francisco properties qualify for DSCR loans?
We primarily lend on residential investment properties in San Francisco. This includes single-family homes, 2-4 unit multi-family properties, and small multi-family apartment buildings with up to 20 units. Our focus is on the property's ability to generate sufficient rental income to cover its mortgage debt, making these properties excellent candidates for DSCR financing.
What is the DSCR ratio, and what's typical for SF properties?
The DSCR ratio measures the property's net operating income against its debt obligations (PITI). A ratio of 1.0x means the property's income exactly covers its mortgage payment. For San Francisco DSCR loans, we typically look for a ratio of 1.0x or higher, though options for lower DSCRs (e.g., 0.75x - 0.99x) may be available with slightly different terms. We assess the property's potential rental income based on market rates in its specific San Francisco neighborhood.
