Financing Rules Change at Five Units: Standard residential loans from sources like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are only available for properties with one to four units. Any building with five or more units is classified as commercial, requiring specialized financing.
Focus Shifts from Person to Property: Unlike residential loans that focus on your personal Debt-to-Income (DTI) ratio, commercial loans for 5+ units are primarily underwritten using the property's Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR), which measures its ability to generate enough income to cover the mortgage payments.
DSCR and Portfolio Loans Are Key Tools: The guide explains how DSCR loans work, how the ratio is calculated, and what lenders look for. It also introduces portfolio loans as a way for investors to consolidate multiple mortgages into a single loan to simplify management and access equity.
Capital and Legal Requirements: Investors should be prepared for higher down payments (typically 20-30%), significant cash reserve requirements (6-12 months of payments), and the common lender mandate to hold the property title in a Limited Liability Company (LLC) for asset protection.
