If you're looking for the best DSCR loan Maryland has to offer, you've come to the right place! Getting a DSCR loan for your Maryland rental property does not have to be time consuming or stressful. Get the lowest rate, highest leverage, lowest fees, and fastest processing every time from OfferMarket.
DSCR loans -- commonly referred to as "rental loans" -- are typically 30 year fixed rate mortgages where the loan amount is based on the cash flow of the rental property. DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio, and is a simple cash flow metric that indicates whether the rental property can generate enough income to safely cover monthly mortgage payments. In order to determine the maximum loan your rental property qualifies for, we recommend using a DSCR calculator. Unlike conventional loans and bank loans, DSCR loans do not require income verification (i.e. W2 salaried employment) or income tax returns and are therefore faster and easier to obtain. Understanding how DSCR affects your loan amount will help you avoid frustrating situations where your loan amount is lower than you expected.
DSCR at Desired LTV | |
---|---|
Cash Flow Negative | Less than 1.0 |
Cash Flow Breakeven | 1.0 |
Cash Flow Positive | Greater than 1.0 |
Ideal | Greater than 1.2 |

In Maryland, your primary residence cannot serve as collateral for your DSCR loan. Since DSCR loans are business purpose loans, your DSCR lender does not need to have an NMLS license.

The max LTV for a cash out refi DSCR loan in Maryland is 75%. While most DSCR lenders in Maryland require 6 months of seasoning, you can cash out refi with no seasoning. We just need to verify that you have added value to the property and you have a lease and security deposit in place. This is perfect for BRRR investors who want to quickly recycle cash to do more deals. You should not be penalized for rehabbing and leasing your rental property efficiently. We are a Maryland private lender specialized in DSCR loans for rental property investors that use the BRRR method.
In Maryland, DSCR loans are most commonly originated by lenders that identify as "private lenders". Private lenders are non-bank lenders who commonly sell your DSCR loan to institutional capital providers and credit investors, think Wall Street. Most Maryland DSCR loans ultimately end up as part of a mortgage backed security that is sold to fixed income investors including pension funds, credit funds, and insurance companies. This is done through a process known as "securitization". You don't need to worry about this, it's helpful to understand how the DSCR loan industry works.
Technically, private lenders and hard money lenders in Maryland are the same. While lenders that identify as "hard money lenders" commonly originate DSCR loans, they tend to focus more on fix and flip loans.
As in other states, appraisals for Maryland DSCR loan will require the following form based on the type of property. Depending on your DSCR lender, your appraisal will either be ordered through an appraisal management company (AMC), or directly with an appraisal that is approved by your lender. At OfferMarket, we use both methods and allow our clients to request a preferred appraiser.
Using our Appraisal Price and Availability Request, we collect competitive bids from appraisers in our network and route our appraisal order directly to the most competitive appraiser. This typically saves you $250 by avoiding an AMC and results in faster turnaround time. If you have a time sensitive purchase or refi using a DSCR loan, this appraisal ordering process saves you time and money.

Duplex (2-Unit) | 1025 |
Triplex (3-Unit) | 1025 |
