Student Housing Investors

Qualify on rental income, not personal income. DSCR loans are perfect for investors targeting EKU\'s consistent student rental demand in Madison County.

Why Richmond Student Housing?

Eastern Kentucky University\'s 14,000+ students create consistent demand for off-campus housing. Properties within walking distance of campus maintain high occupancy rates and command premium rents compared to other Madison County rentals.

Richmond DSCR FAQs

How do DSCR loans work for EKU student housing?

DSCR loans qualify based on the property's rental income, not your personal income. Richmond's student housing generates consistent rents, and lenders evaluate whether the rental income covers the mortgage payment with a cushion (typically 1.0-1.25x coverage).

What DSCR ratio is required for Richmond student rentals?

Most DSCR programs require a minimum 1.0-1.25 ratio. Richmond student housing near EKU typically achieves ratios of 1.2-1.5, qualifying easily for DSCR financing with competitive terms.

Can I use projected rental income for a Richmond DSCR loan?

Yes, for properties not currently rented, we can use appraiser rental estimates or comparable rental analysis. EKU-area properties have well-documented rental histories that support strong projections.
