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.
