How a DSCR Loan Helped a Client Secure a Dream Property in Waikiki

When John first set his eyes on a premium condotel in Waikiki, he knew it was the perfect investment for his family. The location was ideally situated in a luxury area with stunning views of the beach and just a short walk from world-class restaurants and shops. The property would not only serve as a lucrative investment but also offer his family an incredible vacation home in Hawaii. However, there was one major hurdle—he couldn’t qualify for a traditional mortgage using his personal income.

John, like many potential property investors, found himself unable to meet the stringent income requirements that typical lenders demand. Despite having a strong credit history and a solid business portfolio, his personal income alone wasn’t enough to secure financing. This is where the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan became his saving grace.

A DSCR loan focuses not on the borrower’s personal income but on the income generated by the property itself. The condotel in Waikiki, with its prime location and high rental demand, was the perfect candidate for this type of loan. Farm and Community Mortgage suggested applying for a DSCR loan, which would allow him to qualify based on the property’s projected rental income rather than his own earnings.

With the DSCR loan approved, John was able to purchase the condotel, which has since become a profitable investment. Not only does the property generate enough rental income to cover the mortgage and other expenses, but John and his family now have a beautiful vacation home where they can create lasting memories.

The flexibility of the DSCR loan made all the difference, enabling John to secure a property in one of the most coveted areas of Waikiki. Now, the property provides both financial growth and a personal getaway, giving his family the best of both worlds.

For anyone looking to invest in real estate without relying on personal income, the DSCR loan might just be the key to unlocking a dream property like John’s.
