Real estate investor loan DSCR rate update as of mid-June 2025

Interest rates have held pretty steady during the 2nd quarter of 2025, but with a noticeable decrease in the last few weeks.

Since the last update in March, the US Treasury 10-year note is still around the 4.25% mark (but -0.25% from 1 month ago):

For DSCR-type loans (i.e. based on the income of the property and not the income of the borrower), here’s what to expect right now with the following kind of loan profile:

• Single-family home
• Purchase up to 80% LTV and cash-out refinance up to 75% LTV
• DSCR above 1.20 (can go down to 1.10 and perhaps 1.0 but a surcharge may apply)
• Personal credit above 700 gets a decent rate, need at least 660 to qualify

At max leverage (80% on purchase or R/T refinance) you can expect a rate of 7.25-7.50% right now with credit above 740 on a purchase or rate/term refinance. Rate increases would be needed for cash-out refinances (max 75% LTV), 2+ unit buildings, a shorter pre-payment penalty period, and lower personal credit.

Rates decrease with better credit and for lower LTVs/loan amounts. You might want to take 5% less than max leverage to save 0.2-0.3% on the rate.

Maximum buy down of ~4 points gives a ~6.4% floor rate.
