Investment Properties

A strong property can carry a weak one. A vacant unit or a soft lease doesn’t sink the file on its own — the pool’s total cash flow is what gets tested.

Without one, selling a single property inside a blanket loan can force a payoff of the entire pool.

You buy with cash, close, then refinance shortly after — pulling out capital based on what you actually spent, not on the property’s new appraised value.

DSCR loans are designed for non-owner-occupied investment properties.

Rate assumptions belong in the calculator, and the article should discuss coverage qualitatively.

A ratio above 1.00 means rent covers the payment with something left over. Below 1.00, rent falls short and the owner has to cover the gap.

The property still has to earn enough to cover its own payment. The owner still signs a personal guarantee.

It waives the seasoning clock, not the loan math.

Qualification still runs on the property’s rent, not the investor’s tax returns.

Most DSCR lenders will let a revocable living trust hold title, as long as the underlying borrower still signs personally and stands behind the loan.

Underwriters take a discounted version of the property’s actual or projected nightly income and compare it to the monthly obligation.

Revocable trusts underwrite close to an individual file.

Across select lenders in Lendmire’s wholesale network, files run from $150,000 up to $10,000,000, with leverage stepping down as the balance climbs.

A conventional lender looks at the tax return and sees a loss. A DSCR file looks at the property and sees the rent.
