Investor loan DSCR rate update as of mid-February 2025

Interest rates have stabilized since the new year 2025 (with a slight decrease since then) after a rapid increase over the last four months of 2024.

The US Treasury 10-year note around 4.4% now (+0.6% from 6 months 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

At max leverage (80% on purchase or R/T refinance) you can expect a rate of 7.5-7.6% 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, 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.
