Calculators

DSCR Loan Calculator

Almost all DSCR loans are 30 year term, so we’ve plugged in 360 months for the term length.

For 1-4 unit residential, multifamily, and commercial / mixed use DSCR loans, the lenders escrow the estimated monthly cost for property taxes and property insurance. The monthly payments are PITI (Principal + Interest + Taxes + Insurance), like a 30 year home loan, even though these are commercial loan products.

In choosing a DSCR lender, rates, points, and fees are important, but equally important are service, reliability, and not finding a lender that bids low to win loans and re-trades later.

DSCR lenders have less stringent dscr criteria than bank lenders. DSCR loans for 1-4 unit residential properties do not require leases or occupancy, and lenders can go off market rate for rents. DSCR loans for multifamily, mixed use, and commercial, typically require 70% occupancy. The usual dscr requirement for a DSCR loan is 1.00, based on rents divided by the PITI monthly payment with 30 year amortization, and we have lenders that can work with 0.75-0.99 dscr for certain scenarios. A full doc bank loan would adjust rental income downward for operating expenses and vacancy (not just taxes and insurance) and require 1.20 or 1.25 dscr at 20 or 25 year amortization.

Hard Money Loan Calculator

Fix n flip loans and New construction loans are typically 12 month, 18 month, or 24 month balloon loans, interest only, where the borrower intends to repay the loan by either refinancing (taking out) the bridge loan with a permanent loan, or selling the property and repaying the loan at sale.

The “Rehab Holdback Use Factor” is a simplification to help estimate the total monthly interest payments. Our lenders typically don’t charge interest on undrawn amounts, so we’ve included this percentage to adjust for not using the entire rehab holdback amount from the beginning of the loan. Our lenders typically have no minimum term length. They get you on the up front points and fees and then the total interest paid is variable depending on how soon you draw the money and how many months until you pay it back, with no minimum interest.

For a fix n flip example, $250k purchase price and $50k rehab budget, you could model 85% of the purchase price for purchase loan amount ($250,000 x 85% = $212,500) and $50,000 for the rehab holdback amount (rehab budget).

For a new construction loan example, with $50k lot cost and $250k project budget to build a house, you could model $50k down to pay for the lot in cash and then borrow $250k rehab holdback amount, so $0 purchase loan amount and with $250,000 rehab holdback amount.

Multifamily and Commercial Bank Loan Calculator

Bank loans for multifamily and commercial property are full doc loans, meaning they require 2 years personal and business income history, and the bank will verify assets (e.g. cash, stock, retirement plans, and other real estate owned). Unlike DSCR loans, banks typically do not escrow for property taxes and property insurance, so the monthly payment is just Principal and Interest (PI), as opposed to a DSCR loan payment which is Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance (PITI). Typical amortization terms for bank loans are 20 years (240 months) and 25 years (300 months).
