Short-Term Rental Loans Florida

DSCR loans are the primary financing tool for short-term rental investors, qualifying on the property's projected rental income rather than personal income or tax returns. Since each property qualifies independently, there's no portfolio-wide limit on how many short-term rentals you finance.

Built to Scale

What Makes DSCR the Right Fit for STR Portfolios

No Property Cap

Unlike conventional financing's limit of roughly 10 properties, DSCR has no portfolio-wide ceiling.

LLC-Friendly Closings

Close each property in an LLC for liability isolation across your growing portfolio.

Income-Based, Not W-2 Based

Each new acquisition qualifies on its own projected income, not your personal debt-to-income ratio.

Repeatable Process

Once the structure works for property one, the same process scales to property five, ten, and beyond.

Income Documentation

How Lenders Calculate Your DSCR

1

New Property: Market Estimate

A rent estimate platform projects realistic nightly rates and occupancy for the specific property and market.

2

Existing Property: Trailing 12 Months

Actual booking history can support or improve the qualifying income figure over a market estimate alone.

3

DSCR Ratio Calculated

Projected income divided by the property's full monthly debt obligation determines your DSCR and loan terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Short-Term Rental Loans, Explained

What loan programs work for short-term rental investors in Florida?
DSCR loans are the primary financing tool, qualifying on the property's projected rental income rather than the borrower's personal income or tax returns.
How is short-term rental income calculated for loan qualification?
Lenders typically use a market rent estimate from a short-term rental data platform, or a trailing 12-month income history for an established property, to calculate the debt service coverage ratio.
Can I scale a portfolio of short-term rentals with DSCR financing?
Yes. Since DSCR loans qualify each property independently on its own income, there is no portfolio-wide limit on the number of short-term rental properties financed.
