LONG TERM RENTAL/DSCR LOANS


Who Benefits from a Long-Term Rental/DSCR Loan and How Does It Work?

At SL Global, we understand the challenges real estate investors face when seeking financing for rental projects. Traditional lenders often base approval on personal income, which can be problematic for investors who claim tax deductions, reducing their net income on paper. That’s where DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans come in—designed specifically for investors to simplify the financing process and prioritize the cash flow of the property itself.

What Are DSCR Loans and Who Should Use Them?

DSCR loans are an excellent option for both new and experienced investors looking to purchase or expand their rental property portfolios. Unlike conventional loans, DSCR loans focus solely on the rental income generated by the property rather than the borrower’s personal income or employment history. This approach offers flexibility, faster approvals, and streamlined qualifications.

How Does a DSCR Loan Work?

The Debt Service Coverage Ratio measures a property’s ability to generate sufficient income to cover loan payments. It is calculated by dividing the total rental income by the debt service (monthly loan payments).

  • A DSCR of 1.0 indicates the property earns just enough to cover loan payments, but most lenders prefer a DSCR of 1.25 or higher to account for additional expenses like repairs, maintenance, and other obligations.
  • A higher DSCR makes investors more appealing to lenders, potentially qualifying them for larger loan amounts and better interest rates.
  • Some lenders may allow exceptions for DSCRs below 1.0 with higher down payments, but this is rare.

Why Choose DSCR Loans?

The Debt Service Coverage Ratio measures a property’s ability to generate sufficient income to cover loan payments. It is calculated by dividing the total rental income by the debt service (monthly loan payments).

  • Simplified Qualification: Focuses on property cash flow instead of personal income or employment history.
  • Faster Approvals: Streamlined process means you can close quickly and focus on your investment.
  • Portfolio Growth: Ideal for expanding your rental property holdings without the hurdles of conventional financing.

To apply, you’ll need to provide documentation such as a signed lease agreement showing current rental income or a property appraisal to verify its potential cash flow. At SL Global, we’re here to guide you through the process, helping you secure the financing you need to maximize your real estate investment opportunities.




CONSTRUCTION/LAND DEVELOPMENT LOANS


Who Benefits from a Construction Loan and How It Works?

Construction loans are a temporary financing solution designed for construction firms, developers, and builders to fund various stages of the construction process. Typically lasting 18-36 months, these loans cover early development, entitlements, and vertical construction once permits are secured. With a structured draw schedule, funds are released in phases to ensure contractors and subcontractors are paid on time, promoting steady progress throughout the project.

Who Should Consider a Construction Loan?

Construction loans are ideal for borrowers and developers working on projects such as:

  • Multifamily housing
  • Single Family homes
  • Affordable housing developments
  • Medical and business offices
  • Industrial buildings
  • Retail outlets
  • Storage facilities

These loans provide the flexibility to cover a range of expenses, including:

  • Payroll and operational costs
  • Materials procurement
  • Land acquisition
  • Land development

How Do Construction Loans Work?

Unlike traditional loans that disburse the full amount at closing, construction loans release funds incrementally based on a draw schedule outlined in the loan agreement. For example:

  • The first draw may cover land acquisition costs.
  • Subsequent draws could be allocated for milestones such as foundation work or framing.

Before each disbursement, an inspector typically verifies the completion of the specified milestone, ensuring funds are used as intended and projects remain on track.

Key Benefits of Construction Loans

  • Pay-As-You-Go Interest: Borrowers only pay interest on the funds drawn, not the total loan amount. For instance, if you have a $1 million loan but have accessed $200,000, interest is calculated on $200,000.
  • Interest-Only Phase: Many lenders offer an interest-only period to ease cash flow during construction.

At SL Global, we work closely with developers and builders to tailor construction loans to their specific needs, ensuring projects are completed on time and within budget. Let us help you bring your vision to life with flexible and efficient financing.




COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE LOANS


Who Benefits from a Commercial Loan and How It Works?

A commercial real estate loan is specifically designed to help businesses and investors acquire, develop, or improve commercial properties. Unlike residential loans aimed at individual homeowners, these loans cater to properties intended for business use, including office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, multifamily housing, and hotels.

Who Can Benefit from a Commercial Loan?

These loans are ideal for:

  • Businesses looking to purchase or expand their physical locations.
  • Investors seeking to acquire income-generating properties.
  • Developers focused on new construction or major renovations.
  • Property owners looking to refinance or restructure existing debt.

How Commercial Loans Work

A commercial real estate loan functions differently from residential loans and involves the following elements:

  • Purpose: Funds can be used to purchase property, refinance an existing loan, develop land, or renovate commercial spaces.
  • Lenders: Available through banks, credit unions, private investors, or CMBS (Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities) lenders.
  • Loan-to-Value (LTV): Lenders typically finance a percentage of the property’s appraised value—commonly up to 80%. For example, on a $1 million property, a lender might loan up to $800,000.
  • Interest Rates: Rates can be fixed or variable and are generally higher than residential mortgage rates due to the higher risk.
  • Repayment Terms: Terms usually range from 5 to 20 years, often with balloon payments at the end. Some loans may feature longer amortization schedules than their terms.
  • Fees: Borrowers can expect origination fees, appraisal costs, and potential prepayment penalties.
  • Collateral: The commercial property itself serves as collateral. In case of default, lenders can foreclose on the property.
  • Qualification: Lenders assess creditworthiness, business profitability, and the property’s potential income. Key metrics include the Net Operating Income (NOI) and Capitalization Rate (Cap Rate) to determine property value and loan limits.
  • Recourse vs. Non-Recourse Loans:
    • Recourse Loans: The borrower is personally liable for repayment.
    • Non-Recourse Loans: Lenders can only recover the property as collateral in case of default.

For Construction Loans

Funds are released incrementally based on a draw schedule tied to construction milestones, ensuring steady progress and financial oversight.

Why Choose a Commercial Loan?

Commercial loans provide the capital necessary to seize opportunities in the business real estate market, whether acquiring new properties, expanding portfolios, or undertaking large-scale renovations. At SL Global, we work closely with borrowers to ensure transparent, efficient financing tailored to their unique needs, helping them maximize the potential of their investments.
