Investment property adjustments

Investment refis carry pricing add-ons — typically higher rate and lower max LTV — because occupancy risk is higher.

DSCR loans qualify off the property's rent, not your personal income. This is popular with investors who own multiple doors.

Key takeaways

  • Expect stricter terms than primary-home refis.
  • DSCR is a strong alternative.
