Why the Refinance Step Is Everything

Without the refi, BRRRR is just a buy-and-hold with expensive debt.

A cash-out DSCR refinance pulls your equity back out so you can buy the next property. We qualify entirely on the rental income — no W-2s, no tax returns, no personal income at all. That's how investors go from one property to ten.

Can You Qualify?

DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio. It measures whether your rental property earns enough to cover its mortgage payment. Most lenders require 1.0 or higher. Rate Hero offers sub-1.0 DSCR programs down to 0.75, plus no-ratio (0.00 minimum) options for qualified borrowers.

How DSCR Is Calculated
DSCR = Rent ÷ PITIA

PITIA = Principal + Interest + Taxes + Insurance + Association dues. If your monthly rent divided by your PITIA is 1.0 or above, you qualify with most lenders. Rate Hero offers sub-1.0 DSCR programs down to 0.75, plus no-ratio (0.00 minimum) options for qualified borrowers.

Who It's For

Built for
Serious Investors

If you're running the BRRRR strategy, you think in cycles — not single transactions. Here's how Rate Hero fits into each phase.

🔄
Active BRRRR Investors

You're mid-cycle with a stabilized rental and need to pull cash out to fund your next acquisition. This is our bread and butter.

🏗️
Fix-and-Hold Investors

Finished the rehab and placed a tenant? Refinance out of hard money or a personal loan into a 30-year DSCR. Lock in your equity.

📦
Portfolio Builders

Scaling from 2 to 10+ properties? We close loans in LLCs and have no cap on how many properties you can finance with us.

💼
Self-Employed Investors

Write-offs killing your qualifying income on paper? DSCR loans ignore your personal income entirely. The property qualifies itself.

🏖️
STR Operators

Running Airbnb or VRBO properties? We use your actual platform income — or AirDNA projections — to qualify the DSCR refi.

🌍
Foreign National Investors

Non-US residents building US rental portfolios can access DSCR refinancing with alternative documentation. No US credit needed.

Common Questions

BRRRR Financing FAQ

Do I need to show personal income to get a BRRRR refinance?+

No. A DSCR loan qualifies based entirely on the rental property's income — not yours. No W-2s, no tax returns, no personal income verification. If the rent covers the mortgage payment (DSCR ≥ 1.0), you likely qualify.

How soon after placing a tenant can I do the cash-out refi?+

Most DSCR programs have no seasoning requirement on the tenant — you just need a signed lease or a market rent analysis from the appraisal. Some programs require 3–6 months of ownership, but we have options with minimal or no seasoning.

Can I pull all my equity out in the refinance?+

Up to 75–80% LTV on cash-out refinances. So if your property appraised at $300,000 and you owe $150,000, you could potentially pull out up to $90,000 cash — which goes toward your next BRRRR acquisition.

Can I close the DSCR loan in an LLC?+

Yes. We close DSCR loans in LLCs, partnerships, trusts, and other entity structures. This keeps investment properties off your personal credit and separates your portfolio liability from your personal assets.

What if my DSCR is below 1.0?+

Rate Hero offers sub-1.0 DSCR programs down to 0.75, plus no-ratio (0.00 minimum) options for qualified borrowers. If your DSCR is below 0.75, our no-ratio program may still qualify you for purchase, refinance, or cash-out.
