Attention real estate investors! Are you tired of the hassle and piles of paperwork associated with traditional bank loans or the high-interest rates of hard money loans? Look no further than our DSCR - Investor Cash Flow Mortgage Program! Unlike traditional loans, no tax returns or personal income are required, and there are no complex interpretations of your other investment properties are required.
The ideal candidate for a DSCR loan is a residential property investor who are looking for a simpler way to purchase their next rental property, without the headaches of a traditional investor loan, while avoiding the "hard money" interest rates and terms.
Instead of income verification, we use the monthly rental income potential of the investment property you are financing as the "income" for the new loan, and then we compare this number with the home's expenses, such as property taxes, insurance, and association fees.
First, your lender orders a standard appraisal of the home by a licensed real estate appraiser to determine the market value of the home. What sets this program apart is that we also order an additional report, called a Market Rent Analysis, which provides information about the average market rents of similar homes in the same marketplace.
This rental figure then becomes the INCOME for the loan. Next, we’ll calculate the standard EXPENSES for the home, including property taxes, property insurance, along with any required association dues.
And finally, we calculate the debt service coverage ratio as follows:
Monthly RENTAL INCOME divided by Monthly EXPENSES.
The annual net figure of DSCR can also be calculated using annual figures as well as monthly figures. For instance, annual gross operating income / rental income divided by annual debt/ total debt. The ratio itself is the same, whether you calculate it monthly or annually.
THIS NUMBER IS KNOWN AS THE DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE RATIO, or DSCR RATIO FOR SHORT.
For most investment property loans like this one, the ideal ratio should be 1.00 or higher. The higher the number, the more the property cash flows and the more profitable it is from an investment standpoint.
There are times when a negative debt coverage ratio can make for a profitable venture in the long run, especially when an existing home has been mismanaged and/or needs improvements. In this type of scenario, a DSCR loan allows the investor ample time to improve the property and/or adjust the rents to reflect the current market rates. This is why we allow a negative DSCR ratio down to 0.75 for seasoned investors on a case by case basis.
