Can I use a DSCR loan for a short-term rental?

Answered by Onias Derilus, Mortgage Capital · NMLS# 1859012 · Florida licensed mortgage broker

Yes. Many DSCR lenders allow short-term rentals like Airbnb and Vrbo, using projected or actual short-term income to calculate the ratio. Florida's vacation markets make these popular.

Short-term income can be documented with a market rent analysis or a 12-month rental history. We'll find a DSCR lender that credits short-term income for your market.

Airbnb-friendly financing

Yes. Many DSCR lenders finance short-term rentals like Airbnb and Vrbo properties. They use projected short-term rental income, often from a market report, to calculate the DSCR.

Florida's vacation markets make short-term rentals popular, and DSCR loans are one of the main ways investors fund them.

What to expect

Short-term rental DSCR loans may ask for a slightly higher down payment or rate because the income can swing with the season. Strong projected revenue helps the deal pencil out.
