Question 1

Can I use Airbnb income to qualify for a DSCR loan in Mariposa?

Yes, with the right lender. Some lenders accept short-term rental history. Others use a market rent appraisal instead.

Question 2

What DSCR ratio do I need to get approved?

Accepted Answer

Most lenders want a ratio of 1.1 or higher. Some programs allow 1.0, but terms get tighter.

Question 3

Do DSCR lenders work with rural Mariposa properties?

Accepted Answer

Some do, but rural collateral can trigger overlays. Well, septic, or acreage may reduce your lender options.

Question 4

How much do I need to put down on a DSCR loan?

Accepted Answer

Expect 20-25% minimum. Some lenders require more for vacation or short-term rental properties.

Question 5
