Current super-jumbo DSCR guidelines, updated from one source.
These figures are read from Lendmire’s centralized super-jumbo DSCR standards source and update automatically when the program changes. Every state and city guide in this series reads the same source.
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
Leverage is read per loan size and credit tier from the matrix — the figure here is the best cell, not the whole program.
Full-leverage coverage floor
Coverage is measured on the lease or the appraisal’s market rent against principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and dues — interest-only files measure against the interest-only payment.
Credit floor
The credit floor for the ladder’s lower bands; above the super-jumbo overlay line the floor rises, and the best leverage cells carry higher floors still.
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.
This page describes a business-purpose investor program at the program level. The leverage cell for any file comes from the current matrix for its loan size and credit tier; the appraisals, the lease or market rent, reserves, and full underwriting decide the actual terms, subject to lender program eligibility. Nothing here is a rate, a quote, a fee, or a commitment to lend, and Lendmire is 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 Greer, SC, that ladder is what an investor plans around.

The rent qualifies the loan, not the owner
The income that matters is the rent Greer 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
For a Greer investor, the practical question is which rung the balance lands on. Each rung has a leverage ceiling and a credit floor, and the calculator below reads the matrix for the exact size and tier entered.
Credit and reserves rise with the balance
In Greer, SC, the overlays above the line are the program’s way of translating size into credit: a higher floor, a spotless housing history, longer seasoning after any credit event, and reserves that scale with the payment.
The review line and the cash-out ceiling
The largest band in Greer, SC 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.
This is the whole test, applied at the leverage the ladder allows for the balance. The tool below reads the matrix for your inputs; underwriting decides the real number.
Where Greer’s high-value rental stock sits — and how a lender reads it.
Where Greer, SC’s expensive homes are, how many there are, and what the top of the rental market pays — Census estimates give the backdrop for a high-balance review.
Market context only. The higher the value, the thinner the rent relative to the payment; that is the pattern in nearly every luxury market, and it is why super jumbo DSCR files carry more equity, an interest-only period, or both.
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 Greer submarkets, distinct appraisal stories.
The metropolitan luxury market around Greer splits into distinct pockets; a lender underwrites the property in front of it, but the pocket sets the expectations.
Executive suburbs and enclaves
The relocation market around Greer produces documented leases on high-value homes, and a file built on that lease reads cleanly against the ladder. Census estimates place about 0.1% of Greer’s owner-occupied homes at a value of one million dollars or more — roughly 17 homes.
High-rise and full-service residences
Full-service residences in Greer’s towers qualify on the same rent-to-payment math as a house, with the building’s warrantability, litigation, and owner-occupancy mix reviewed beside the unit. The median owner-occupied home value in Greer runs near $288,700 on the latest Census estimate.
New luxury construction
New luxury construction in Greer 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. Median household income in Greer sits near $82,626, the demand side of the rents a high-value rental competes for.
Multi-unit luxury and townhome rows
In Greer, a high-value two-to-four-unit property qualifies on its total rent roll, and the appraisal addresses each unit’s market rent as well as the building’s value. About 1.7% of Greer’s renter households pay three thousand dollars a month or more — near 72 households at the top of the rental market.
Historic and estate districts
Historic property in Greer appraises on a thin comparable set; two appraisals are routine once the balance crosses the line, and the review takes longer. Greer counts a population near 42K within the Greenville-Anderson-Greer, SC area.
Prestige neighborhoods
The blue-chip streets of Greer carry the values and the leases that make a large balance straightforward to underwrite: comparables are plentiful and the rent is documented. Median gross rent in Greer sits near $1,198 a month, the floor the top of the market rises from.
Market context only. The leverage cell for a Greer file comes from the matrix for its loan size and credit tier, never from the submarket.
Four ways Greer investors put super-jumbo DSCR financing to work.
How Greer 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 Greer high-balance files are structured that way; interest-only leverage carries its own cap.
Refinance out of a bank or bridge loan
When a high-value Greer 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.
Take cash out below the cash-out ceiling
Cash-out in Greer, SC has its own rungs: leverage steps down with the balance, proceeds above a certain leverage are capped, and above the ceiling the program offers rate-and-term only.
Buy a high-value rental on its rent
For a Greer acquisition that a standard DSCR program cannot carry, the super jumbo path applies the same rent test at a larger balance, with the ladder setting the leverage.
Estimate a Greer high-value rental’s coverage at its loan size, before requesting a quote.
Run a Greer 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 Greer scenario to start from — adjust the price, equity, credit tier, and rent to see which rung the balance lands on.
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 Greer’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.
The right structure for a Greer, SC property depends on the balance, the rent, and whether the owner’s own income should be part of the file at all.
Rent-qualified at scale, standard DSCR, or the owner’s income.
The structure for a Greer rental that outgrows a standard DSCR program — the same rent test, applied at a larger balance through a ladder.
The everyday DSCR loan: rent-qualified, higher leverage in the lower bands, and a ceiling that most Greer rentals never approach — the super jumbo path begins where it stops. Inside the standard ceiling, Lendmire arranges DSCR loans in Greer.
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.
Choose by balance and by whose income should qualify: the rent at scale, the rent within the standard ceiling, or the owner’s deposits — Lendmire places the Greer, SC file where it reads best.
What to prepare for a Greer 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.
These are the points a lender reads on a Greer high-balance file before the leverage cell is confirmed; each one can move the structure.
Use these checks to keep the Greer file clean and fundable.
A clean Greer file starts with the balance placed on the ladder, the appraisal count known, and the reserves counted.
- Know the rung: place the balance on the ladder before the price is set.
- Plan the review: structure purchase or rate-and-term only at that size.
- Count the appraisals: know that thin comparables lengthen the review.
The loan-size band decides the leverage
Leverage on a Greer 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.
Case-by-case review above the line
For Greer 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.
Two appraisals above the line
Above the second-appraisal line, a Greer file carries two appraisals, and the lower value governs; on unique high-value property the comparables are thin, so the review takes longer and the value can land below the contract.
Reserves scale with the payment
On a Greer, SC file, reserves follow the payment: the larger the balance, the larger the liquid assets that must be verified after closing.
Cash-out has its own ceiling
Cash-out is available lower on the ladder than purchase; a Greer file above the cash-out ceiling is structured as rate-and-term or the balance is brought down.
From a Greer rent roll to a funded high-balance loan.
Lendmire runs a Greer high-balance file in a set order: place it on the ladder, package it, appraise it, close it.
Place the balance
Lendmire reads the Greer scenario against the matrix: the band, the credit tier, the leverage cell, the review line, and the cash-out ceiling — before anything is ordered.
Package the file
The lease or rent analysis, the credit report and housing history, reserves, the entity documents, and the property detail are assembled for the Greer, SC program that fits.
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 Greer, SC file against the matrix, and the loan funds at the leverage the band and the credit tier opened.
A brokerage built around income-qualified investors.
High-balance DSCR lending is where a generalist stumbles: the ladders differ by program, the overlays differ by size, and the list of wholesale lenders that handle very large rental balances competently is short.
Ladders, not guesses
The band, the cell, the overlays, and the review line are known at the start of a Greer, SC file, not discovered in underwriting.
The right wholesale program
High-balance DSCR ladders differ by program; Lendmire places a Greer, SC file where its rent, its credit tier, and its property read best.
Structured for the review
The details that sink high-balance files late are settled early on a Greer file, which is what keeps the closing on the terms the ladder allowed.

Greer super jumbo DSCR loan FAQs
The questions a Greer, SC 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 Greer?
From a matrix: the balance places the file in a loan-size band, the credit tier selects a cell inside it, and that cell is the leverage. The smallest band carries the highest leverage; each larger band steps down. The ladder table on this page shows the best cell in each band.
Can I take cash out of a high-value Greer rental with a super jumbo DSCR loan?
Below the cash-out ceiling, yes: the cash-out ladder steps leverage down by band, and proceeds are capped above a set leverage. Above the ceiling, the program offers purchase and rate-and-term only, so the structure changes or the balance comes down.
How much do I need in reserves?
Months of the full payment, not a dollar figure — so a larger Greer payment means larger reserves. Foreign-national files and first-time investors carry longer requirements.
What happens above the case-by-case review line?
Above the line, a Greer file becomes a conversation: Lendmire packages it, the lender reviews it before submission, and the leverage is the top band’s. Cash-out is not part of that band.
Can the property be held in an LLC?
Yes, subject to lender program eligibility: title in an LLC or corporation is routine on high-balance rentals, with the guarantors’ credit selecting the leverage cell and layered entity structures not accepted.
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 is the rent documented on a high-balance file?
A lease or the appraisal’s market rent. On very large Greer balances the rent analysis has to defend a large number, so the appraiser’s comparables matter as much as the lease.
Is interest-only available on a super jumbo DSCR loan?
Through select programs, yes: an interest-only period at its own leverage cap, with coverage measured on the interest-only payment. It is one of the two common ways a high-value Greer file brings its ratio inside the floor.
What credit score does a super jumbo DSCR loan require?
There are two answers: the floor for the band and the floor for the cell. A stronger tier buys more leverage inside the same band, which is why the calculator asks for the credit tier.
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.
Talk through a Greer high-balance file before the appraisals are ordered.
A first read of a Greer high-balance scenario takes a few minutes and commits you to nothing; the ladder, the appraisals, and the review line are explained before anything is ordered.
