DSCR CES (Closed End Second)

A closed-end second with a DSCR qualifying option

DSCR CES (Closed End Second) overview

A closed-end second behind a first we do not have to hold, qualified on the property's coverage rather than on the borrower's income. For the investor sitting on equity and a first at three percent.

Refinancing that first to take equity out would cost more than the second does. This is the arithmetic worth showing the borrower.

  • Sits behind a first we do not hold
  • Rental income qualifies
  • No personal income documented
  • Entity vesting standard
  • Fixed rate, 10 to 30 years
  • No impact on the first lien

Figures are the programme maximum at a glance. A file rarely qualifies at the maximum on two axes at once, and the guideline in force on the lock date governs. Nothing here is a commitment to lend.

Questions

Asked on nearly every call

Does the first lien have to be with Linkhome?

No. It can sit behind any first, which is the point — the borrower keeps a low first-lien rate instead of refinancing it away.

Is a full appraisal required?

An appraisal is required. Where the loan amount and CLTV are conservative, a drive-by or hybrid product may be accepted; the desk will tell you at registration.
