Current super-jumbo DSCR guidelines, updated from one source.
The snapshot below is not typed onto this page — it is pulled from one super-jumbo DSCR guideline source and refreshed when that source changes, so Terre Haute, IN always shows the current ladder.
Program ceiling
Balances run from the program minimum to the ceiling shown; the largest band is reviewed before submission and never as cash-out.
Top purchase leverage
Top purchase leverage applies in the first band of the ladder; each larger band steps leverage down, and interest-only carries its own cap.
Full-leverage coverage floor
The full-leverage coverage floor: at or above it, the ladder applies as shown; below it, leverage steps down through the reduced band.
Credit floor
A published credit floor for the program; larger balances and the best leverage cells require stronger credit, as 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 | 660+ |
| $6M – $10M | 60% · case by case | Not available | 660+ |
Current super-jumbo DSCR snapshot · updated September 7, 2026 · coverage from 0.75 to 0.99 and no-ratio files to $2M at reduced leverage · 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 rate, a payment, a fee, or a lender; Lendmire is a mortgage broker and never the lender.
What a super-jumbo DSCR loan is — and how the ladder decides it.
A super jumbo DSCR loan is the standard DSCR structure carried to larger balances: the property’s rent qualifies the loan, and a matrix of loan size and credit tier decides the leverage. In Terre Haute, IN, that ladder is what an investor plans around.
Balance inside the standard ceiling? See DSCR Loans in Terre Haute, the standard program, or the statewide guide at Super Jumbo DSCR Loans in Indiana.
The rent qualifies the loan, not the owner
The income that matters is the rent Terre Haute tenants pay or the market rent an appraiser documents, measured against principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and dues. The owner’s personal income never enters the calculation.
Leverage is a ladder, not a number
There is no single loan-to-value on this program. A Terre Haute 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 rise with the balance
Above the overlay line, a Terre Haute file carries a stricter credit floor, a clean recent housing history, and longer seasoning after a credit event. Reserves are months of the full payment, so a larger payment means larger reserves.
The review line and the cash-out ceiling
The largest band in Terre Haute, IN 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.
Enter a price, an equity percentage, a credit tier, and the rent; the calculator reads the leverage cell for that loan size, builds the full payment, and compares the ratio with the floor.
Where Terre Haute’s high-value rental stock sits — and how a lender reads it.
These Terre Haute, IN figures describe the market, not a property; the appraisal and the lease carry the file, and the numbers here only explain the neighborhood it sits in.
Read the figures as backdrop. Value and rent rarely climb at the same pace; the market figures below show how far Terre Haute’s top of market has moved, and the calculator shows what that means for coverage.

Distinct Terre Haute submarkets, distinct appraisal stories.
The metropolitan luxury market around Terre Haute splits into distinct pockets; a lender underwrites the property in front of it, but the pocket sets the expectations.
Multi-unit luxury and townhome rows
Luxury townhome rows and small multi-unit buildings in Terre Haute are underwritten on the whole property’s rent, with a unit-count review and the same ladder applied to the combined balance. Census estimates place about 0.1% of Terre Haute’s owner-occupied homes at a value of one million dollars or more — roughly 17 homes.
High-rise and full-service residences
In Terre Haute’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. Roughly 3 owner-occupied homes in Terre Haute are valued at two million dollars or more on the latest estimate, the stock a super jumbo file is most often written against.
Historic and estate districts
The historic estates of Terre Haute carry values that rest on condition and provenance, and the appraisal will weigh both, together with the scarcity of true comparables. The median owner-occupied home value in Terre Haute runs near $115,700 on the latest Census estimate.
Executive suburbs and enclaves
In the suburbs favored by Terre Haute’s executives, homes rent on long leases to relocating households, which is exactly the income a DSCR review wants to see. Median household income in Terre Haute sits near $43,126, the demand side of the rents a high-value rental competes for.
Prestige neighborhoods
In Terre Haute’s established luxury districts, values are well supported and rents are strong, so the leverage ladder applies with fewer structural adjustments than in thinner markets. About 1.1% of Terre Haute’s renter households pay three thousand dollars a month or more — near 116 households at the top of the rental market.
New luxury construction
New luxury construction in Terre Haute appraises on comparable sales that may be scarce for the product, so the appraisal review is longer and a second appraisal is routine at larger balances. Terre Haute counts a population near 58K within the Terre Haute, IN area.
Read the submarkets as orientation. The file’s figures come from the appraisals, the rent, and the program matrix.
Four ways Terre Haute investors put super-jumbo DSCR financing to work.
From acquisition to consolidation, super jumbo DSCR loans in Terre Haute, IN solve a specific set of problems for high-value rentals.
Scale a portfolio of high-value rentals
Investors building a Terre Haute portfolio use the program property by property: each balance sits on its own rung, and reserves are measured per property.
Take cash out below the cash-out ceiling
Below the cash-out ceiling, a Terre Haute rental with equity can return cash on a rent-qualified refinance; the cash-out ladder steps leverage down by band, and proceeds are limited above a set leverage.
Refinance out of a bank or bridge loan
When a high-value Terre Haute rental carries the wrong loan, a rate-and-term super jumbo DSCR refinance restructures it on the rent, at the band’s leverage and without cash-out limits in play.
Carry a high-value asset interest-only
Where Terre Haute, IN rents compress against value, an interest-only structure through select programs brings the coverage ratio inside the floor at a lower monthly payment.
Estimate a Terre Haute high-value rental’s coverage at its loan size, before requesting a quote.
Run a Terre Haute 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.

Starting assumptions reflect Terre Haute’s home values and rents; change any field and the ladder is re-read.
Editable benchmark: 6.71% as of September 3, 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 Terre Haute’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, four very different structures.
Same Terre Haute property, four structures: rent-qualified at scale, rent-qualified within the standard ceiling, deposit-qualified on the owner’s income, or a bank relationship.
Rent-qualified at scale, standard DSCR, or the owner’s income.
The structure for a Terre Haute 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 Terre Haute.
Deposit-qualified rather than rent-qualified: a bank statement loan puts the owner’s business income at the center, which suits an owner-used home more than a leased rental.
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 Terre Haute scenario review.
The documents a lender reads first on a super jumbo DSCR file.
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.
Every Terre Haute file is underwritten individually, but the same handful of considerations recur at high balances; they are worth settling before the appraisals are ordered.
Use these checks to keep the Terre Haute file clean and fundable.
Before requesting a quote on a Terre Haute, IN property, confirm the balance’s band, the property’s eligibility, and the credit tier the best cell requires.
- Know the rung: place the balance on the ladder before the price is set.
- Count the appraisals: know that thin comparables lengthen the review.
- Know the STR cap: expect discounted, documented short-term rental income.
The loan-size band decides the leverage
The balance places a Terre Haute file in a band, and the band sets the leverage ceiling and the credit floor for its best cell. A little more equity can move a file down a rung into a better cell — which is why the balance is planned before the price.
Two appraisals above the line
High-value homes in Terre Haute 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.
Short-term rental income has its own cap
Where a Terre Haute property earns nightly rather than lease income, the program reads that income only to its own size cap, with its own documentation and an experienced-investor requirement; above the cap the file must qualify on long-term rent.
Acreage, condos, and rural designations
Acreage is capped by loan band in Terre Haute, rural property carries its own leverage and is excluded above a set balance, and a non-warrantable condominium or a condotel has its own cell and its own size cap.
Case-by-case review above the line
For Terre Haute requests above the review line, the answer comes from a review rather than a matrix cell; Lendmire packages the file for that conversation before anything is ordered.

Terre Haute super jumbo DSCR loan FAQs
The questions a Terre Haute, IN investor asks before requesting a high-balance scenario review, answered at the program level.
How is leverage decided on a super jumbo DSCR loan in Terre Haute?
Leverage is read, not negotiated. A Terre Haute 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 Terre Haute 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.
What happens above the case-by-case review line?
It is reviewed case by case. The top band exists for very large Terre Haute, IN balances that the matrix cannot price mechanically; the review decides, and the structure is purchase or rate-and-term only.
Can a first-time investor use the program?
A first-time investor is eligible on a smaller balance with a leverage reduction, longer reserves, and a stronger credit floor; an experienced investor unlocks the full ladder.
Why does a Terre Haute high-balance file need two appraisals?
Because the balance is large enough that the valuation deserves a second opinion. Above the line, two appraisals are ordered, and the ladder is applied to the lower of the two values.
What coverage ratio does a Terre Haute property need?
At the floor, the ladder applies as shown; below it, leverage steps down through the reduced band. High-value Terre Haute property often lands there, which is why equity and interest-only structures are used to bring the ratio back.
How is the rent documented on a high-balance file?
A lease or the appraisal’s market rent. On very large Terre Haute balances the rent analysis has to defend a large number, so the appraiser’s comparables matter as much as the lease.
Which properties are eligible?
Rental property of one to four units. The matrix carries separate cells for non-warrantable buildings and condotels, an acreage cap that tightens with the balance, and a rural exclusion above a certain size.
How long does a super jumbo DSCR loan take?
Long enough for the appraisals and the review: two appraisals above the line and a pre-submission conversation on the largest balances add time a standard file does not need. Lendmire settles the ladder and the file first so the appraisal is the only wait.
Can the property be held in an LLC?
Entity vesting is accommodated on this program. The entity documents are read alongside the file, and the guarantors’ credit tier is the one the matrix uses.
The property has the rent. Let us find the rung.
Start with the property, the rent, and the balance you have in mind. No credit pull or commitment is required to request an initial scenario review.
