DSCR lending, state by state

DSCR programs are offered nationally by many wholesale lenders, but whether a particular loan can be arranged for a particular property depends on the state. This page explains why, in qualitative terms.

Availability varies by state

Each wholesale lender chooses where it lends, and each sets its own rules for property types, minimum loan sizes and eligible markets within a state. A program available in one state may not be offered in its neighbour, and even within a state, rural properties, certain condominiums or short-term rentals in restricted areas can fall outside guidelines.

Broker licensing applies

Arranging a loan is a regulated activity. A mortgage broker may arrange loans only in states where it holds the required license or where an exemption for business-purpose lending applies. Loan Daddy LLC’s current licenses are listed on our licensing page and can be verified on NMLS Consumer Access. Where we are not able to arrange a loan, we will say so.

State-level factors worth knowing

  • Property tax levels and reassessment practices, which feed directly into PITIA.
  • Hazard, wind, flood and wildfire insurance costs, which can move the ratio more than any other input.
  • Local rules on short-term rentals, including permits, caps and association restrictions.
  • Foreclosure process and title practices, which some lenders weigh in their state guidelines.
  • Entity formation and registration requirements when vesting in an LLC formed in another state.
