A Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) cash flow loan is a crucial tool every originator should offer. The reasoning is simple: real estate investors continue to add to their portfolios despite market volatility. In fact, CoreLogic reported that in 2023 25% of purchases were investor transactions. This occurred during a time of rising interest rates, high inflation and economic volatility. Savvy real estate investors know that real estate can help survive market volatility by generating passive income and providing tax benefits. These investors also know the importance of having a trusted, go-to originator to help them quickly secure deals.
Why Should Originators Offer a DSCR Cash Flow Loan?
Originators who offer a DSCR product are fully serving their real estate investor clients with the right loans to suit their needs. These loans are easy to do with qualification based on determining if an investment property generates sufficient cash flow to cover the mortgage payments. It can be a great choice for real estate investors who do not want to provide complicated documentation, employment information or personal income. Additionally, traditional loans won’t be an option for investors who own more than 10 investment properties and have reached the Agency credit limit. Deephaven does not have a limit on the total number of financed properties.
Another excellent reason to offer a DSCR loan option is due to the large number of investors in the space. According to Census data there are over 17 million real estate investors who manage approximately 49.5 million units. A DSCR cash flow loan allows them to use their rental income from an investment property to qualify. The best reason? Real estate investors are repeat clients as they build their portfolios and refinance mortgages to purchase new properties. They just need a trusted lender who can fully serve them with the right investor loans. If you aren’t offering a DSCR cash flow loan you could be missing out on business your competitors are closing every month.
DSCR loans are one of the most utilized loans at Deephaven Mortgage. Deephaven has been setting records in non-QM for many consecutive months and DSCR loans make up a large percentage of the volume.
