Current super-jumbo DSCR guidelines, updated from one source.
The current program figures below are hydrated from Lendmire’s super-jumbo DSCR standards source at each visit, so the ladder shown for Greeley, CO is the ladder in force.
Program ceiling
This is the balance the program can reach on a strong file; the leverage cell at any size depends on the credit tier and the transaction.
Top purchase leverage
At the first rung of the ladder, purchase and rate-and-term leverage reach this ceiling; above it the ladder steps down.
Full-leverage coverage floor
This is the ratio that unlocks the ladder’s best cells; a ratio inside the reduced band still qualifies, at reduced leverage.
Credit floor
The credit floor for the ladder’s lower bands; above the super-jumbo overlay line (the balance is in the snapshot line under the ladder table) a higher floor applies, and each band’s best leverage cell carries the credit requirement the ladder table shows.
Cash-out leverage steps down with loan size and stops at this balance; larger requests are purchase or rate-and-term only.
Above this balance every request is reviewed before submission, at reduced leverage.
An interest-only period is available through select programs, with coverage measured on the interest-only payment.
| Loan size | Purchase & rate-and-term | Cash-out | Credit at that leverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| $150,000 – $1M | 80% | 75% | 660+ |
| $1M – $1.5M | 75% | 70% | 700+ |
| $1.5M – $2M | 75% | 60% | 720+ |
| $2M – $3M | 75% | 60% | 720+ |
| $3M – $4M | 65% | Not available | 700+ |
| $4M – $6M | 60% · case by case | Not available | 700+ |
| $6M – $10M | 60% · case by case | Not available | 700+ |
Current super-jumbo DSCR snapshot · updated September 26, 2026 · coverage from 0.75 to 0.99 and no-ratio files to $2M at reduced leverage · super-jumbo overlays (credit floor 700+) above $3M · two appraisals above $2M · short-term rental income to $2M.
Super jumbo DSCR loans are business-purpose, non-QM programs arranged through select wholesale lenders. Leverage, credit floors, coverage floors, reserves, appraisal requirements, and eligibility are read from the current program matrix for the loan size and credit tier and are subject to lender program eligibility and full underwriting. Nothing on this page states or implies a lender’s rate, payment, fee, or identity; the calculator below runs on a public benchmark rate, not a quote, and Lendmire is a mortgage broker and never the lender.
What a super-jumbo DSCR loan is — and how the ladder decides it.
Super jumbo DSCR financing in Greeley, CO qualifies on the property, not the owner, and reads its terms from a ladder rather than a single cap; understanding the rungs is most of the work.

The rent qualifies the loan, not the owner
In Greeley, CO, the file is built on the property’s lease or the appraisal’s market rent; on an interest-only structure the ratio is measured against the interest-only payment. Documented rent is the whole income case.
Leverage is a ladder, not a number
There is no single loan-to-value on this program. A Greeley file is placed in a loan-size band, the credit tier selects a cell inside it, and that cell is the leverage. The ladder table on this page shows the best cell in each band.
Credit and reserves tighten above the overlay line
The program reads credit twice for a Greeley file: once against the floor for the band, and once against the floor for the leverage cell requested. Reserves are months of the full payment, with a longer requirement for a first-time investor.
The review line and the cash-out ceiling
The largest band in Greeley, CO is a conversation, not a form: requests above the review line are reviewed case by case, structured as purchase or rate-and-term, at reduced leverage. Cash-out ends lower on the ladder.
The calculator below runs this math with your numbers at the leverage the matrix allows for the loan size and credit tier entered. The appraisals, the lease or market rent, and full underwriting decide the actual figure.
Where Greeley’s high-value rental stock sits — and how a lender reads it.
For Greeley, CO, the share of homes valued above the standard program’s reach and the rents at the top of the market are the two figures that matter most to a high-balance lender’s read.
Read the figures as backdrop. A large share of high-value homes signals depth of comparables for the appraiser; a strong top-bracket rental market signals leases that can carry a high-balance payment.
Data sources: U.S. Census Bureau — ACS 5-Year (2024) housing and population estimates, including owner-occupied home values by bracket and gross rent by bracket.
Distinct Greeley submarkets, distinct appraisal stories.
A super jumbo DSCR file in Greeley reads differently by submarket — appraisal depth, association packages, acreage, and rent-to-value all shift from one to the next.
New luxury construction
Newly built luxury homes in Greeley carry the value but not always the comparables; valuation support is settled first, leverage second. Roughly 55 owner-occupied homes in Greeley are valued at two million dollars or more on the latest estimate, the stock a super jumbo file is most often written against.
Executive suburbs and enclaves
The executive enclaves around Greeley pair strong values with dependable long-term tenants, and the coverage ratio reflects that stability. About 2.3% of Greeley’s renter households pay three thousand dollars a month or more — near 346 households at the top of the rental market.
Historic and estate districts
The historic estates of Greeley carry values that rest on condition and provenance, and the appraisal will weigh both, together with the scarcity of true comparables. Median household income in Greeley sits near $69,881, the demand side of the rents a high-value rental competes for.
High-rise and full-service residences
In Greeley’s towers, the unit’s rent is one half of the file and the building’s financials are the other; a non-warrantable project carries its own leverage cell and size cap. The median owner-occupied home value in Greeley runs near $402,500 on the latest Census estimate.
Prestige neighborhoods
The prestige neighborhoods of Greeley offer the deepest comparable sales in the market and a tenant pool that pays for location, which is the combination a high-balance file reads best on. Greeley counts a population near 111K within the Greeley, CO area.
Multi-unit luxury and townhome rows
Small multi-unit luxury property in Greeley can carry a large balance on a strong rent roll; the lender reads each lease and the building’s comparables together. Census estimates place about 1.5% of Greeley’s owner-occupied homes at a value of one million dollars or more — roughly 371 homes.
None of this is a valuation or a rent analysis; it is the backdrop a Greeley file is read against before the appraisals and the lease decide the numbers.
Four ways Greeley investors put super-jumbo DSCR financing to work.
How Greeley investors put the program to work depends on the balance, the rent, and the goal; these four paths cover most files.
Carry a high-value asset interest-only
An interest-only period lowers the payment the rent is measured against, which is why many Greeley high-balance files are structured that way; interest-only leverage carries its own cap.
Refinance out of a bank or bridge loan
A rate-and-term refinance in Greeley, CO replaces a loan that no longer fits — a short-term bridge, a private loan, a bank line — on the strength of the property’s rent.
Scale a portfolio of high-value rentals
Investors building a Greeley portfolio use the program property by property: each balance sits on its own rung, and reserves are measured per property.
Buy a high-value rental on its rent
A purchase above the standard ceiling in Greeley, CO qualifies on the property’s income; the equity is sized to the band, and the appraisal work scales with the price.
Estimate a Greeley high-value rental’s coverage at its loan size, before requesting a quote.
Run a Greeley property through the matrix before you request a quote: price, equity, credit tier, rent, and the payment inputs produce the leverage cell, the coverage ratio, and the rent needed to reach the floor. The rate is a Freddie Mac benchmark you can change; it is not a DSCR loan quote.

A Greeley scenario to start from — adjust the price, equity, credit tier, and rent to see which rung the balance lands on.
Editable benchmark: 7.28% as of October 1, 2026 · Freddie Mac 30-year average via FRED®. This is not a DSCR loan quote.
Illustrative starting assumptions: a $2,500,000 price set above Greeley’s median owner-occupied home value to reach the super jumbo band, an equity position sized to the ladder, and a long-term rent in line with luxury rent-to-value (U.S. Census Bureau). Taxes and insurance are editable state-level assumptions.
Illustrative estimate only — not a Loan Estimate, approval, quote, or commitment to lend. Leverage is read from the current program matrix for the loan size and credit tier entered; the appraisal, the lease or market rent, reserves, and full underwriting decide the actual figures. Requests above the review line are considered case by case, purchase or rate-and-term only. The rate field is an editable Freddie Mac thirty-year benchmark; it is not a DSCR loan quote.
Same property, three very different structures.
Super jumbo DSCR is one of three structures a Greeley investor might use on the same property; each reads income differently and stops at a different balance.
Rent-qualified at scale, standard DSCR, or the owner’s income.
The structure for a Greeley rental that outgrows a standard DSCR program — the same rent test, applied at a larger balance through a ladder.
Qualifies on the same rent-to-payment math but stops at the standard program ceiling; the lower bands of the super jumbo ladder overlap it, with the standard program often carrying the better cell there. Inside the standard ceiling, Lendmire arranges DSCR loans in Greeley.
Qualifies the owner on bank deposits rather than the property on rent — consumer financing for a primary residence or second home the owner will use, or an investment property where the owner’s cash flow is the stronger case.
If the rent covers the payment and the balance is above the standard ceiling, super jumbo DSCR is the structure; if it is inside the ceiling, standard DSCR; if the owner will live there, a bank statement loan.
What to prepare for a Greeley scenario review.
What a high-balance scenario review usually starts with.
This is a general preparation guide, not a universal checklist. The selected lender may request additional information based on the loan size, the property, the appraisals, the lease or market rent, the entity, and reserves. Nothing here is legal or tax advice.
Local details that can change the loan.
These are the points a lender reads on a Greeley high-balance file before the leverage cell is confirmed; each one can move the structure.
Use these checks to keep the Greeley file clean and fundable.
Before requesting a quote on a Greeley, CO property, confirm the balance’s band, the property’s eligibility, and the credit tier the best cell requires.
- Know the rung: plan the equity around the rung, not the value.
- Count the appraisals: let the appraised value, not the contract, set the balance.
- Set up the entity: provide formation documents and good standing.
The loan-size band decides the leverage
Leverage on a Greeley high-balance file is not negotiated; it is read from the band. The work is choosing the balance and the equity so the file lands on the rung that fits.
Two appraisals above the line
High-value homes in Greeley are appraised on a small set of comparable sales; expect two appraisals above the line and a value that reflects what the appraiser could actually find.
Entity vesting and guarantors
Entity ownership is routine on high-balance Greeley, CO rentals; the formation documents, the operating agreement, and the guarantors’ credit are read together with the rent.
Short-term rental income has its own cap
A Greeley vacation rental above the short-term rental cap is underwritten on the appraisal’s long-term market rent, not on bookings; below the cap, the program’s short-term rental rules apply.
Reserves scale with the payment
Verified liquid reserves are counted in months of the Greeley property’s full payment; plan for the payment, not the price.
From a Greeley rent roll to a funded high-balance loan.
Lendmire runs a Greeley high-balance file in a set order: place it on the ladder, package it, appraise it, close it.
Place the balance
Every Greeley file starts with the band. The equity, the transaction type, and the interest-only question are settled around it.
Package the file
The file is built once, correctly: rent documentation, credit, reserves, entity, property — everything the Greeley, CO lender will read, in the order they read it.
Appraise and review
One or two appraisals, depending on the balance, with a market rent analysis; above the review line the request is discussed with the lender before it is submitted.
Close and fund
Final underwriting reads the whole Greeley, CO file against the matrix, and the loan funds at the leverage the band and the credit tier opened.
A brokerage built around investors who qualify on rent.
A super jumbo DSCR file rewards preparation, and preparation is what a brokerage built for investors provides.
Ladders, not guesses
The band, the cell, the overlays, and the review line are known at the start of a Greeley, CO file, not discovered in underwriting.
The right wholesale program
A Greeley file is matched to the program whose matrix opens the best cell for its size and tier, subject to lender program eligibility.
Structured for the review
Above the review line, the file is a conversation; Lendmire packages a Greeley request so that conversation starts with the answers already in hand.

Greeley super jumbo DSCR loan FAQs
General answers for Greeley investors weighing a super jumbo DSCR loan; the appraisals, the rent, and underwriting decide every actual figure.
How is leverage decided on a super jumbo DSCR loan in Greeley?
Leverage is read, not negotiated. A Greeley file lands in a band by loan size, and the credit tier opens a cell; the calculator on this page reads the current matrix for the exact size and tier entered.
Can I take cash out of a high-value Greeley rental with a super jumbo DSCR loan?
Yes, inside the cash-out ladder. The ceiling sits below the program’s top balance, proceeds are limited above a certain leverage, and at the largest balances cash-out proceeds may not count toward reserves.
Why does a Greeley high-balance file need two appraisals?
Above the second-appraisal line the program requires two reports, and the lower value governs. High-value property is appraised on a thin comparable set, and a second opinion protects the valuation the ladder is applied to.
What does Lendmire do on a Greeley high-balance file?
Reads the balance against the matrix, chooses the wholesale program whose ladder fits, packages the file — rent, credit, reserves, entity, property — orders the appraisals the balance requires, and handles any case-by-case review before submission. Lendmire is the broker, never the lender.
Which properties are eligible?
One-to-four-unit investment property, including warrantable condominiums; non-warrantable condominiums and condotels have their own leverage cells and size caps; acreage is capped by loan band and rural property is excluded above a set balance.
Can a first-time investor use the program?
The program accepts a first-time investor inside its own cap and with its own overlays; investor experience is measured as time owning income-producing real estate.
What happens above the case-by-case review line?
The request is reviewed with the lender before it is submitted, structured as purchase or rate-and-term at the top band’s reduced leverage, and decided on the property, the rent, and the borrower rather than on a matrix cell alone.
Is interest-only available on a super jumbo DSCR loan?
Yes, at a leverage cap of its own. Because the payment the rent is measured against is smaller, an interest-only structure often makes a thin rent-to-value ratio work.
Can the property be held in an LLC?
An LLC can hold the Greeley property, subject to lender program eligibility; the rent still qualifies the loan and the guarantors still qualify the credit.
What coverage ratio does a Greeley property need?
Rent divided by the full payment must reach the floor for full leverage; below it, the file steps into the reduced-leverage band. On an interest-only structure the ratio is measured on the interest-only payment.
