Current super-jumbo DSCR guidelines, updated from one source.
One source feeds every super jumbo DSCR page Lendmire publishes; the Conway, SC figures below refresh when the program sheet is updated.
Program ceiling
The ceiling is the top of the ladder, not a promise at every credit tier — leverage and credit floors change band by band.
Top purchase leverage
Top purchase leverage applies in the first band of the ladder; leverage steps down as the balance climbs (not at every band), and interest-only carries its own cap.
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
A published credit floor for the program; above the overlay line a higher floor applies, and each band’s best leverage cell carries its own credit requirement, 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 | 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.
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 quote, a fee, or a commitment to lend — the calculator below runs on a public benchmark rate, not a quote — and Lendmire is never the lender.
What a super-jumbo DSCR loan is — and how the ladder decides it.
Rent-qualified financing at scale: that is the whole idea of a super jumbo DSCR loan in Conway, SC. The rent carries the file; the ladder sets the leverage; the balance decides the review.
Balance inside the standard ceiling? See DSCR Loans in Conway, the standard program, or the statewide guide at Super Jumbo DSCR Loans in South Carolina.
The rent qualifies the loan, not the owner
In Conway, SC, 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
For a Conway 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 tighten above the overlay line
In Conway, 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
Above the cash-out ceiling, a Conway refinance cannot take cash; above the review line, any request is reviewed before it is submitted. Both lines are shown in the snapshot and respected by the calculator.
The ratio is measured at the leverage cell the matrix opens for the loan size and credit tier. The calculator applies that cell; the lease, the appraisals, and underwriting apply the rest.
Where Conway’s high-value rental stock sits — and how a lender reads it.
Where Conway, 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.
These are context figures, not underwriting inputs. 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 Conway submarkets, distinct appraisal stories.
Where a Conway property sits changes what the appraisal has to prove and what the rent has to cover; the submarkets below are the map most high-balance files are read against.
Executive suburbs and enclaves
The relocation market around Conway produces documented leases on high-value homes, and a file built on that lease reads cleanly against the ladder. Roughly 5 owner-occupied homes in Conway are valued at two million dollars or more on the latest estimate, the stock a super jumbo file is most often written against.
New luxury construction
Where Conway is adding new estates and towers, the value case rests on recent closed sales of similar product, and the lender applies the ladder only once those support the number. The median owner-occupied home value in Conway runs near $260,900 on the latest Census estimate.
Multi-unit luxury and townhome rows
In Conway, 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. Census estimates place about 0.9% of Conway’s owner-occupied homes at a value of one million dollars or more — roughly 54 homes.
Prestige neighborhoods
The prestige neighborhoods of Conway 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. Conway counts a population near 27K within the Myrtle Beach-Conway-North Myrtle Beach, SC area.
High-rise and full-service residences
High-rise units in Conway can carry very large balances, and the association package — reserves, rental rules, hotel-style operations — is underwritten as carefully as the lease. Median household income in Conway sits near $56,650, the demand side of the rents a high-value rental competes for.
Historic and estate districts
The historic estates of Conway carry values that rest on condition and provenance, and the appraisal will weigh both, together with the scarcity of true comparables. About 2.4% of Conway’s renter households pay three thousand dollars a month or more — near 71 households at the top of the rental market.
Read the submarkets as orientation. The file’s figures come from the appraisals, the rent, and the program matrix.
Four ways Conway investors put super-jumbo DSCR financing to work.
From acquisition to consolidation, super jumbo DSCR loans in Conway, SC solve a specific set of problems for high-value rentals.
Hold title in an entity
For Conway investors holding property in an entity, the super jumbo path accommodates the structure, subject to lender program eligibility, while the rent carries the file.
Scale a portfolio of high-value rentals
A portfolio in Conway, SC can add its next high-value rental on the same rent-qualified basis, with the program’s financed-property count and reserves read across the holdings.
Buy a high-value rental on its rent
Acquire a Conway estate, tower residence, or luxury home as a rental and qualify on its lease or market rent, with leverage read from the ladder for the balance and interest-only available through select programs.
Refinance out of a bank or bridge loan
A rate-and-term refinance in Conway, SC 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.
Estimate a Conway high-value rental’s coverage at its loan size, before requesting a quote.
Enter a price, an equity percentage, a credit tier, and the monthly rent for a Conway property. The calculator reads the leverage cell the matrix allows at that loan size, builds the full payment from your inputs, and measures coverage against the full-leverage floor. The rate field carries the weekly Freddie Mac market benchmark — a conventional reference, not a DSCR loan quote — and every field stays editable.
Conway super jumbo DSCR calculator
Illustrative Conway inputs; the calculator re-reads the matrix on every change.
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 Conway’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 Conway 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.
Rent-qualified financing for high-value rentals: no tax returns, leverage that steps down by band, reserves and appraisal work that scale with the balance, and interest-only through select programs.
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 Conway.
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 Conway 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.
Beyond the rent and the credit tier, a handful of details decide where a Conway high-balance file lands on the ladder — or whether it lands at all.
Use these checks to keep the Conway file clean and fundable.
Before requesting a quote on a Conway, SC property, confirm the balance’s band, the property’s eligibility, and the credit tier the best cell requires.
- Know the rung: confirm the band and the credit tier the best cell requires.
- Read the overlays: confirm borrower eligibility and acreage under the overlays.
- Confirm the property: check the condominium’s warrantability or the condotel cell.
The loan-size band decides the leverage
The balance places a Conway 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.
Overlays above the super-jumbo line
Above the overlay line, a Conway file carries a higher credit floor, a spotless recent housing history, longer seasoning after any credit event, tighter borrower eligibility, and an acreage limit. These are not adjustments; they are the program’s terms at that size.
Acreage, condos, and rural designations
The property itself can move a Conway, SC file: large acreage, a rural designation, a non-warrantable building, or a condotel each carries its own leverage and cap on the matrix.
Two appraisals above the line
High-value homes in Conway 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.
Reserves scale with the payment
On a Conway, SC file, reserves follow the payment: the larger the balance, the larger the liquid assets that must be verified after closing.
From a Conway rent roll to a funded high-balance loan.
Four steps take a Conway, SC high-balance scenario from a first read to funding; the first one is the one most investors skip.
Place the balance
The first step is the ladder: where the Conway, SC balance lands, which cell the credit tier opens, and whether the structure should change to land on a better rung.
Package the file
The file is built once, correctly: rent documentation, credit, reserves, entity, property — everything the Conway, SC lender will read, in the order they read it.
Appraise and review
Valuation is settled next: the appraisals the Conway balance requires, the rent analysis, and any case-by-case review above the line.
Close and fund
Final underwriting reads the whole Conway, SC 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.
Placing a Conway high-balance file well means knowing which program’s ladder reads it best, which overlays apply, and where the review line sits — before the appraisals are ordered.
Ladders, not guesses
The band, the cell, the overlays, and the review line are known at the start of a Conway, SC file, not discovered in underwriting.
The right wholesale program
High-balance DSCR ladders differ by program; Lendmire places a Conway, SC file where its rent, its credit tier, and its property read best.
Structured for the review
Above the review line, the file is a conversation; Lendmire packages a Conway request so that conversation starts with the answers already in hand.

Conway super jumbo DSCR loan FAQs
Program-level answers to the questions Conway investors raise most about super jumbo DSCR loans. Every file is underwritten individually; nothing here is a commitment.
How is leverage decided on a super jumbo DSCR loan in Conway?
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; leverage steps down as the balance climbs. The ladder table on this page shows the best cell in each band.
Can I take cash out of a high-value Conway 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?
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.
Are foreign nationals eligible?
Foreign nationals can use the program on its foreign-national tier, subject to lender program eligibility, with the balance capped below the program’s top.
What is the rate on a super jumbo DSCR loan?
A scenario review produces the terms; nothing on this page states or implies a rate. The benchmark in the calculator exists only so the payment math can be illustrated.
How much do I need in reserves?
Months of the full payment, not a dollar figure — so a larger Conway payment means larger reserves. Foreign-national files and first-time investors carry longer requirements.
What coverage ratio does a Conway 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.
What credit score does a super jumbo DSCR loan require?
It depends on the balance and the leverage requested. The floor in the snapshot applies at the bottom of the ladder; above the overlay line a higher floor applies, each band’s best cell carries the credit the table shows, and the overlays add a clean recent housing history.
What sets the timeline on a super jumbo DSCR loan?
It depends on the balance: one appraisal or two, a matrix cell or a case-by-case review. Preparation is what keeps a Conway, SC file moving.
How is this different from a standard DSCR loan?
Same rent test, larger balance. The standard program stops at its ceiling; the super jumbo ladder begins there and carries the file to the program’s top, with leverage that steps down, credit floors that rise above the overlay line, and a review line for the largest requests.
From estate to funded loan — start the review.
A first read of a Conway 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.
