Foreign National Short-Term Rental Loans

Finance an eligible short-term rental property.

Foreign national DSCR financing may support qualifying Airbnb, VRBO, seasonal, nightly, weekly, or monthly rental strategies when the income analysis meets program requirements.

Short-term rental income

The review must account for seasonality and operating costs.

Qualifying gross rent is generally based on a 12-month view and reduced for extraordinary operating costs unless documented actual expenses require a higher factor.

01

Appraiser STR analysis

An eligible licensed-appraiser analysis can use comparable short-term rentals, occupancy, daily rates, location, and market appeal.

02

Operating history

A recent 12-month statement from an eligible rental or management service may support subject-property income, net of vendor fees.

03

Bank deposit history

Recent 12-month bank statements may be considered when supported by subject-property rental records.

04

Eligible market report

Certain purchase scenarios may use an approved market-data report when comparables, score, forecast period, and timing requirements are met.

DSCR treatment

A conservative income calculation protects the transaction.

Underwriting reviews seasonality, vacancy, operating expenses, management costs, furnishings, cleaning, advertising, and the reliability of the supporting income source before comparing qualifying income with PITIA or ITIA.

  • Twelve-month averaging helps account for seasonality
  • The lowest qualifying income source is used when multiple sources are provided
  • Refinance terms depend on the property history, income documentation, value, existing liens, and complete underwriting review
  • Condo-hotel projects can have additional restrictions
  • Property location and local short-term-rental legality remain important
