Covington DSCR Loan FAQs
What is a DSCR loan and how does it work for Covington investors?
DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans qualify based on the property's rental income vs. expenses—not your personal tax returns. If a MainStrasse rental generates $2,000/month and the mortgage is $1,600, your DSCR is 1.25x, which typically qualifies.
What DSCR ratio is required for Covington properties?
Most lenders require 1.0x DSCR minimum (rental income equals expenses). We have options as low as 0.75x DSCR for strong borrowers. Covington's rental market often produces 1.2x-1.4x ratios on well-located properties.
Can I use DSCR loans for short-term rentals in MainStrasse?
Yes! Covington allows short-term rentals in most areas including MainStrasse. We use projected STR income (via AirDNA or comparable analysis) to calculate DSCR. Many MainStrasse investors see strong Airbnb performance.
What down payment is required for DSCR loans in Covington?
DSCR loans typically require 20-25% down for single-family and 25-30% for multi-family. With Covington's median price around $225K, that's approximately $45K-$56K down for a single-family rental.
