Multifamily DSCR Loan FAQs
What qualifies as a multifamily property for DSCR loans?
Multifamily DSCR loans typically apply to duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and 2–8 unit residential properties. Qualification is based on the property’s rental income rather than the borrower’s personal income.
Do multifamily DSCR loans require personal income or tax returns?
No. Multifamily DSCR loans do not require traditional personal income documentation such as W-2s, pay stubs, or tax returns. Instead, qualification is based primarily on the property’s rental income and its ability to cover the proposed mortgage payment (the debt service coverage ratio).
While a personal guarantee is typically required, underwriting focuses on the asset’s cash flow, credit profile, and overall investment strength—not the borrower’s personal income.
Can I use a multifamily DSCR loan for a purchase or refinance?
Yes. Multifamily DSCR loans can be used for both purchases and refinances.
Investors commonly use DSCR financing to acquire new multifamily rental properties or to refinance existing assets to lower their rate, pull cash out, or restructure the loan for better long-term cash flow. Because qualification is based on the property’s rental income, the process remains streamlined for both scenarios.
