DSCR Loans

HOA Dues Reduce Qualifying Rent on an LLC — No. HOA dues never touch the rent figure a lender uses to qualify a short-term rental file.

Loans typically run from $150,000 up to $3,000,000 on the standard DSCR program, with a portfolio-investor ladder reaching further for qualified files.

Below $2 million, documented nightly-rental history or an appraiser’s short-term-rent analysis can qualify the file.

The real cliff isn’t the jumbo threshold.

On a super jumbo file, that same math applies but the income path caps out at $2,000,000 in loan size, credit floors rise, and appraisal scrutiny doubles.

Above roughly $4 million, every file gets reviewed one at a time — no flat percentage applies. This isn’t a niche corner case anymore.

A short-term rental file doesn’t hit a wall at the jumbo line.

The lender does not lower the reserve bar in slow months or raise it in peak season.

Get the entity paperwork and income documentation lined up before underwriting starts, and the file moves like any other business-purpose loan.

Get the sizing wrong and a good annual DSCR still leaves an owner scrambling every January.

Above that, larger investment properties move onto the standard DSCR ladder, which runs to $10,000,000 with tighter credit and reserve rules at the top.
