Current super-jumbo DSCR guidelines, updated from one source.
Every super jumbo DSCR page in this series shows the same live program figures, read from one guideline source rather than typed into each page.
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
The headline leverage belongs to the smallest balances the program accepts; the ladder table below shows what each larger band allows.
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
Credit sets which cells of the matrix are open: this floor opens the lower bands, a higher floor applies above the overlay line.
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+ |
Current super-jumbo DSCR snapshot · updated September 6, 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.
Business-purpose financing for investment property only, arranged through select wholesale programs; the figures shown are current program parameters that vary by loan size, credit tier, transaction, and property, subject to lender program eligibility and underwriting. No rate, payment, fee, or lender is stated or implied anywhere on this page. Lendmire is never the lender.
What a super-jumbo DSCR loan is — and how the ladder decides it.
Super jumbo DSCR financing in New Hampshire qualifies on the property, not the owner, and reads its terms from a ladder rather than a single cap; understanding the rungs is most of the work.

The rent qualifies the loan, not the owner
A super jumbo DSCR loan in New Hampshire is underwritten on the property’s rent — an existing lease or the appraisal’s market rent estimate — divided by the full monthly payment. Tax returns, wage statements, and employment verification are not part of the ratio.
Leverage is a ladder, not a number
There is no single loan-to-value on this program. A New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire’s high-value rental stock sits — and how a lender reads it.
Statewide Census figures give the backdrop for New Hampshire’s high-value rental stock; the market pages beneath this guide carry each city’s own numbers.
Statewide figures provide general market context, not an appraisal or a rent analysis. 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.
Where New Hampshire’s high-value rental stock runs deepest — market by market.
The New Hampshire markets below are ranked by the share of owner-occupied homes valued above the standard DSCR ceiling — the markets where super jumbo balances are most common — each with its own page.
Portsmouth
Portsmouth holds about 21% of its owner-occupied homes at one million dollars or more (1,179 homes): a coastal luxury market with enough high-value stock for the appraisal to find its footing. Census context: median value near $688,500, median household income near $106,219, population near 23K.
North Conway
Roughly 59 homes in North Conway, about 11% of the owner-occupied stock, are valued at one million dollars or more — a mountain and resort luxury market where high-balance files are common enough to read cleanly. Census context: median value near $435,000, median household income near $71,198, population near 2.0K.
Laconia
In Laconia, about 6.6% of owner-occupied homes — near 304 — reach one million dollars in value, which is why a file there is carried by its appraisals and its rent rather than by a market pattern. Census context: median value near $340,300, median household income near $73,218, population near 17K.
Hampton
Hampton is a coastal luxury market where roughly 122 owner-occupied homes (3.6% of the stock) are valued at one million dollars or more; a high-balance file is read on its own comparables and its own lease. Census context: median value near $545,300, median household income near $97,163, population near 10K.
Lincoln
High-value housing is a smaller share of Lincoln — about 1.6% of owner-occupied homes, roughly 5 — so a super jumbo file there leans on the property’s own appraisals and rent, with the mountain and resort luxury market setting the context. Census context: median value near $326,700, median household income near $60,000, population near 923.
Nashua
In Nashua, about 1.2% of owner-occupied homes — near 256 — reach one million dollars in value, which is why a file there is carried by its appraisals and its rent rather than by a market pattern. Census context: median value near $403,900, median household income near $96,326, population near 91K.
Read the market list as orientation; the city pages carry the figures, and the appraisals and the rent carry the file.
Four ways New Hampshire investors put super-jumbo DSCR financing to work.
From acquisition to consolidation, super jumbo DSCR loans in New Hampshire solve a specific set of problems for high-value rentals.
Hold title in an entity
For New Hampshire investors holding property in an entity, the super jumbo path accommodates the structure, subject to lender program eligibility, while the rent carries the file.
Buy a high-value rental on its rent
A purchase above the standard ceiling in New Hampshire qualifies on the property’s income; the equity is sized to the band, and the appraisal work scales with the price.
Take cash out below the cash-out ceiling
An investor consolidating equity from a New Hampshire property uses the cash-out path where the ladder allows it, knowing the largest balances are structured without cash.
Refinance out of a bank or bridge loan
When a high-value New Hampshire 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.
Estimate a New Hampshire high-value rental’s coverage at its loan size, before requesting a quote.
The calculator does what the lender’s first pass does for a New Hampshire file — finds the band, opens the cell for the credit tier, builds the payment, and checks the rent against the floor — using the current matrix and the weekly Freddie Mac benchmark as an editable rate assumption.
New Hampshire super jumbo DSCR calculator
Starting assumptions reflect New Hampshire’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 New Hampshire’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 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.
Super jumbo DSCR is one of four structures a New Hampshire 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.
The everyday DSCR loan: rent-qualified, higher leverage in the lower bands, and a ceiling that most New Hampshire rentals never approach — the super jumbo path begins where it stops. Inside the standard ceiling, Lendmire arranges DSCR loans in New Hampshire.
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 New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire high-balance file lands on the ladder — or whether it lands at all.
Use these checks to keep the New Hampshire file clean and fundable.
A clean New Hampshire file starts with the balance placed on the ladder, the appraisal count known, and the reserves counted.
- Know the rung: plan the equity around the rung, not the value.
- Count the appraisals: expect two appraisals above the line and plan for the lower value.
- Plan the review: structure purchase or rate-and-term only at that size.
The loan-size band decides the leverage
Leverage on a New Hampshire 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.
Two appraisals above the line
The appraisal work on a New Hampshire high-balance file scales with the price: two reports above the line, a market rent analysis that has to defend a large number, and a valuation that the ladder is applied to only once the comparables support it.
Case-by-case review above the line
The largest New Hampshire balances are a conversation: the lender reviews the property, the rent, the borrower, and the structure before the file is submitted, and the leverage is the top band’s.
Reserves scale with the payment
Reserves are months of the full payment, so a New Hampshire high-balance file carries a larger reserve requirement in dollars than a standard file; a first-time investor carries a longer requirement, and at the largest balances cash-out proceeds may not satisfy it.
Acreage, condos, and rural designations
Acreage is capped by loan band in New Hampshire, 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.
From a New Hampshire rent roll to a funded high-balance loan.
Four steps take a New Hampshire high-balance scenario from a first read to funding; the first one is the one most investors skip.
Place the balance
Lendmire reads the New Hampshire 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 file is built once, correctly: rent documentation, credit, reserves, entity, property — everything the New Hampshire lender will read, in the order they read it.
Appraise and review
The appraisals and the rent analysis set the numbers the ladder is applied to; a New Hampshire file above the review line is reviewed before submission.
Close and fund
The New Hampshire loan closes once underwriting confirms the ratio at the approved cell, with reserves verified and the entity documented.
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
A New Hampshire scenario is placed on the ladder first; the rest of the file is built to fit the rung.
The right wholesale program
Not every wholesale lender carries a rental past the standard ceiling, and the ones that do differ on leverage, overlays, and the review line; Lendmire knows which is which.
Structured for the review
Above the review line, the file is a conversation; Lendmire packages a New Hampshire request so that conversation starts with the answers already in hand.

New Hampshire super jumbo DSCR loan FAQs
What New Hampshire investors want to know about rent-qualified financing above the standard ceiling — answered at the program level, not the file level.
How is leverage decided on a super jumbo DSCR loan in New Hampshire?
Leverage is read, not negotiated. A New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire rental with a super jumbo DSCR loan?
Cash-out has its own rungs and its own ceiling on this program. A New Hampshire file inside it can return cash at the band’s leverage; a file above it is structured as rate-and-term.
Are foreign nationals eligible?
On the foreign-national tier, subject to its own size cap and leverage, with the coverage floor met and without the no-ratio path; a path without a U.S. credit score exists subject to lender program eligibility.
What credit score does a super jumbo DSCR loan require?
The published floor opens the ladder’s lower bands; above the super-jumbo overlay line a higher floor applies, and the best leverage cells in every band carry higher floors still. The snapshot shows the current floor; the ladder table shows the credit each best cell requires.
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.
Does short-term rental income count on a super jumbo DSCR loan?
Only to the program’s own short-term rental cap, which sits below the program ceiling; the income is discounted, documented with operating history or a rent analysis, and an experienced investor is required. Above the cap the file qualifies on long-term market rent.
How is the rent documented on a high-balance file?
A lease or the appraisal’s market rent. On very large New Hampshire balances the rent analysis has to defend a large number, so the appraiser’s comparables matter as much as the lease.
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.
What coverage ratio does a New Hampshire property need?
The full-leverage floor in the snapshot unlocks the ladder’s best cells. Coverage between the reduced band and the floor still qualifies at reduced leverage, and a no-ratio path exists below its own size cap for files with a strong housing history.
What does Lendmire do on a New Hampshire high-balance file?
Places the file on the ladder first, then builds it for the program that reads it best; Lendmire brokers the loan through its wholesale network and is never the lender.
Bring the New Hampshire property. We will run the ladder.
No credit pull, no commitment: an initial review places your New Hampshire balance on the ladder and tells you what the file will need.
