Why Honolulu Investors Choose Waterman Capital for DSCR Loans

Frequently Asked Questions About DSCR Loans in Honolulu
What is a DSCR loan and who is it for in Honolulu?
A Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan is a non-QM (non-qualified mortgage) loan designed for real estate investors. It allows you to qualify primarily based on the rental income generated by the investment property, not your personal income. It's ideal for Honolulu investors looking to expand their rental portfolio, including self-employed individuals, those with multiple properties, or those seeking quicker, more flexible financing than traditional banks offer.
What types of residential properties qualify for DSCR loans on Oahu?
We finance a wide range of residential investment properties across Oahu, including single-family homes (SFR), 2-4 unit multi-family properties, small apartment buildings (up to 20 units), and investment condos or townhouses. The key is the property's potential or current rental income.
Do you require personal income or tax returns for DSCR loans?
No, that's one of the main advantages of our DSCR loan program. We focus on the property's ability to generate sufficient income to cover its debt, rather than requiring personal income documentation like W2s or tax returns. This streamlines the application process significantly for Honolulu investors.
What DSCR ratio is typically required for Honolulu properties?
While requirements can vary, a DSCR of 1.0x or higher is generally preferred, meaning the property's gross rental income fully covers the principal, interest, taxes, and insurance (PITI). Some programs may allow for slightly lower DSCRs (e.g., 0.75x) with a slightly higher interest rate, especially in strong rental markets like Honolulu. We will assess each property's cash flow potential.
