How We Evaluate This Scenario

A DSCR file is judged on the property, not your tax returns: qualifying rent divided by PITIA — principal, interest, taxes, insurance, plus HOA and flood where they apply. Most programs use the lesser of the in-place lease rent and the appraiser's market rent, so a lease signed below market usually caps the ratio no matter how strong the comps look.

Three inputs move the outcome more than anything else: rent support on the appraiser's rent schedule (Form 1007 or 1025), the LTV tier, and the credit tier. Dropping leverage by five points or moving up a FICO band frequently changes pricing more than shopping a different lender does.

Before you write an offer, price taxes and insurance at post-sale levels rather than the seller's current bill. In reassess-on-transfer states and in coastal insurance markets, that single adjustment is the most common reason a deal that penciled at contract fails the ratio at underwriting.

Credit & pre-approval

Why we pull credit for your investor loan pre-approval

Every DSCR / business-purpose loan file needs a tri-merge credit report so we can verify identity, price your rate tier accurately, and confirm reserves and payment history for the underwriter. Cleaner credit typically unlocks a better rate and higher leverage.

Pay for your credit report — SmartPay

Simply Approved Mortgages uses MeridianLink SmartPay to securely collect the credit report fee for your investor pre-approval. Payment goes directly to the credit vendor — not to us — and unlocks your tri-merge report (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion) so your loan officer can price your file.

  • Secure, PCI-compliant checkout hosted by MeridianLink
  • Required for a formal investor pre-approval decision
  • Soft-touch process — your loan officer will guide you through it
