Do you have clients looking to enter property investment by purchasing multifamily properties with five to eight units? LendSure’s innovative DSCR investor loans program means you can serve these clients – without referring them to a commercial mortgage broker.
LendSure has broadened its investor loans program for residential investors. Since 2020, the housing market has been on a record-breaking boom. Home values have soared to new highs, and rents have skyrocketed. Those trends are making property investment attractive to a new generation of investors.
With investor demand on the rise, LendSure has expanded our sweet spot to include properties of five to eight units. We offer loans for seasoned investors for properties that generate sufficient cash flow.
One big advantage to LendSure’s program is the debt-service coverage ratio (DSCR) program feature. If a borrower goes with a commercial lending program for an eight-unit property, the lender will look at the gross income that the property generates based on the units that are rented.
That’s a challenge because even a few empty apartments can kill the deal. If just two of the eight units are not rented at the time of underwriting, the borrower might not get approved.
LendSure looks at market rents to qualify the property (instead of considering only currently rented units to support the loan amount), making it easier to qualify. In other words, not all units need to be rented. LendSure underwrites the investment property based on both current and future rent.
LendSure investor loans offer another big advantage compared to a commercial lending program: The debt-service coverage ratio to qualify is lower with LendSure then you usually find with a commercial program. Most lenders want the DSCR to be above 1.25. Our program requires a ratio of just 1.1 for 5-8 unit properties.
For an explanation of our DSCR loans, see this short video. The DSCR is calculated by dividing the property’s net monthly income by its total monthly payment including TIA. So if your client is considering buying a property that generates $11,000 in net operating income and the debt service is $10,000, the borrower would qualify under LendSure’s more generous DSCR guidelines.
The bottom line: It’s just easier to get investor loans done with LendSure.
The simplified process for LendSure’s 5-8 unit program is also appealing to savvy borrowers who understand how DSCR programs work. They like the simplicity of our program, which strikes a contrast to the complexity of a commercial loan. As a seasoned investor, they don’t have to disclose all of their personal financials to qualify for a loan through this program. Rather, LendSure’s approval is based on the property’s cash flow.
Other key benefits include less documentation and fast pre-approvals – borrowers get an answer from us within a few days.
LendSure’s DSCR investor loans are available in loan amounts up to $2 million, and for loan-to-value ratios of up to 70 percent. Non-warrantable condos and condotels are eligible for the program.
