DSCR Loan Down Payment by city in New York

Common questions

Does a better ratio lower the down payment?

It can. A property whose rent covers its payment by a wide margin looks less risky, and some lenders will lend more against it. A tight ratio tends to push the other way. Your credit and the property type also factor in, so a strong ratio does not settle the question alone. Ask the lender to show you how each factor affects your quote.

Can I use a 1031 exchange for my down payment?

Many DSCR lenders accept exchange funds held by a qualified intermediary, with paperwork showing the exchange and the amount available. Exchanges carry strict tax deadlines and rules, and the lender's timing has to fit within them. Whether an exchange makes sense for you is a tax decision, so talk to a tax professional or attorney before you list the property you plan to sell.

Can a partner contribute to the down payment?

Often, if the partner is part of the borrowing entity or on the loan, and the lender can document the funds. Money from someone outside the deal may be treated as a gift or a loan and may not count. Partnership terms, ownership shares and guaranties belong in a written agreement, so talk to a tax professional or attorney before pooling funds.
