Frequently Asked Questions from Walton County DSCR Clients
What is a DSCR loan and why is it ideal for Walton County, FL?
A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan is a non-QM loan for investment properties where approval is based on the property's ability to cover its debt service, not your personal income or tax returns. For Walton County, with its strong rental market (including a robust short-term rental economy), DSCR loans are perfect for investors looking to purchase or refinance rental properties quickly and efficiently, scaling their portfolio without income verification hurdles.
What types of rental properties do you lend on in Walton County?
We provide DSCR loans for a wide range of residential investment properties across Walton County. This includes single-family homes, 2-4 unit multi-family properties, and small multi-family apartment buildings up to 20 units. We finance both long-term and short-term (vacation) rentals in popular areas like 30A, Miramar Beach, and Destin adjacent communities, as well as properties in growing areas like Freeport and DeFuniak Springs.
How is the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) calculated for properties in Walton County?
The DSCR is calculated by dividing the property's gross rental income (actual or market rent, often determined by an appraisal) by its total debt service (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, HOA dues). For example, if a property generates $2,000/month in rent and its total monthly mortgage payment (PITI) is $1,500, the DSCR would be 1.33 ($2,000 / $1,500). Most DSCR loans require a ratio of 1.0 or higher.
Do you require an appraisal for Walton County DSCR loans?
Yes, DSCR loans typically require a full appraisal to determine the current market value of the property. This appraisal will also often include a rent schedule or rent survey to establish the property's projected gross rental income, which is crucial for calculating the Debt Service Coverage Ratio.
