There is no single universal DSCR guideline
DSCR is a category of business-purpose investor financing offered by many different lenders. Credit, leverage, reserves, property eligibility, rent calculations and documentation can vary materially by lender.
Start with the deal, not a headline
A guideline such as “20% down,” “85% LTV,” “no-ratio,” or “no seasoning” may exist with a select program without being available for every borrower or property. LoanFight presents these as lender-specific possibilities, not guaranteed terms.
Recent transfers into an LLC
LLC vesting is common in business-purpose DSCR lending. With select lenders, moving title from the individual borrower into an eligible LLC shortly before refinance does not automatically create a new seasoning requirement; even a very recent transfer may be reviewable. Entity ownership, guarantors, continuity of beneficial ownership and the full title history still matter.
