DSCR loans for 5 to 8 unit multifamily.



3 cakes take DSCR, 5 to 8 units.
Every cake with a published matrix for this income type, largest loan first. Open one for its limits and matrix.
What the file needs.
The same DSCR test, with a 1.00 minimum. Loans of $2 million and up also need a 9% debt yield: net operating income over the loan amount.
- A residential multifamily property on up to 2 acres, not rural or agricultural zoning; the matrix sets the unit count
- Leased units at the lower of lease or market rent; vacant units at 75% of market, two at most
- A commercial exterior-only BPO, unless there are two full appraisals
- Six months of reserves, or twelve for foreign nationals
- First-time homebuyers are not eligible
From the DSCR guidelines, version 5.0, section 9.1 to 9.3. The guidelines and matrix govern every file.
