Understanding The Benefits of New Buy to Rent Loan Features

Benefits of Buy to Rent Loans

New Rental Home Financing programs offer real estate investors incredible access to attractive blanket mortgage financing for growing and optimizing performance of their portfolios. There can be many advantages to these new investor property loan programs, but some of the terminology and features of these ‘Buy to Rent’ mortgages may be new to many.

So what do they mean and how do they help?

5 common terms and features of new Buy to Rent loans:

DSCR or Debt-Service Coverage Ratio is a term commonly used in commercial real estate financing. It is effectively the same as the Debt-to-Income (DTI) ratios most investors are probably familiar with when buying residential homes and borrowing from local banks.

In this scenario commercial lenders use this expression to determine the DTI ratio of an individual or pool of properties to determine maximum new debt, based upon the income derived from the property being used as collateral. A DSCR of less than 1 would mean the property would be negative cash flowing. Standard minimum DSCR required by lenders is traditionally 1.25.

  • Non-Recourse

Non-recourse loans are prized by intelligent investors. It means individuals will not be pursued personally in case of default on a loan. The property would still be subject to foreclosure. It is now standard for lenders to add exceptions to this in cases of fraud or other actions of owners which may be deemed to have deliberately caused default. Start your first single property loans with this in mind.

  • Cross Collateralized

This new breed of Buy to Rent loans provides extended rental home financing in one mortgage loan collateralized by multiple single family rental homes. This can range anywhere from 5 units to thousands of units. This provides simplification and streamlined lending, reduced borrowing costs, maximized returns and helps free up captive capital, and enable efficiency in making new acquisitions. For example; an investor with 10, $100,000 homes could theoretically leverage $700,000 in one 70% LTV loan by providing a first mortgage secured by these properties.

  • Partial Releases

In order for blanket mortgage loans like this to not only provide essential and attractive capital, but to provide ongoing risk mitigation and flexibility investors need a loan which includes provisions allowing partial releases. This enables the investor to sell off individual properties in their portfolio without having to pay off the entire loan.

  • Capital Expenditures Reserve Accounts

Some new lenders and loan programs establish Capital Expenditure Reserve Accounts on behalf of their clients. This has been a very controversial and misunderstood factor of Buy to Rent loans to date. Reserves have long been a factor in credit approval, especially for commercial investment property loans. Lenders would rather loan more and see a borrower has a cash reserve to service debt in emergency situations.

Experienced rental property investors also know that at some point during their stint as a landlord repair and replacement demands will arise. Appliances, siding and even roofs only have a finite lifespan. In order to keep properties performing these items need to be budget for, with some money put aside each month to bulk up for when these needs arise, without suffering cash shortages. This is definitely a sign of a lender dedicated to sustainable practices, and who also has the investor’s interest in mind.
