Frequently Asked Questions from Washington D.C. Rental Investors
What is a DSCR loan and why is it ideal for Washington D.C. rental properties?
A Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan is a non-QM (non-qualified mortgage) loan for real estate investors. It qualifies borrowers based on the rental income generated by the property, specifically how it covers the mortgage payment (PITI). It's ideal for the DC market because it bypasses personal income verification, allowing investors to scale their portfolios quickly, especially for those with multiple properties or non-traditional income sources.
How fast can I get funded for a rental property in Washington D.C. with a DSCR loan?
While not as immediate as hard money, DSCR loans are significantly faster than traditional bank financing. For qualified Washington D.C. rental projects, we typically fund loans within 15-25 business days. This efficiency helps investors secure properties and optimize their closing timelines in a competitive market.
What types of rental properties do you lend on in D.C.?
We lend on a wide range of residential investment properties across Washington D.C., including single-family homes, multi-unit residential properties (2-4 units), and even properties intended for short-term rental (STR) use like Airbnbs. Our focus is on the property's ability to generate sufficient rental income to cover its debt.
Do DSCR loans in D.C. require an appraisal?
Yes, DSCR loans typically require a full appraisal to determine the property's market value. Critically, the appraisal will also include a rent schedule or rent comparable analysis, which is essential for calculating the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) and verifying the property's income-generating potential.
