Deal Analyzer

Start with estimated DSCR, gross rent minus PITIA, rate sensitivity, and an illustrative reserve range. Use lender-approved qualifying rent when evaluating a loan; this is not a net cash-flow calculation or an approval.

Illustrative 3–6 months of PITIA. Actual reserves vary by lender, loan purpose, property, and portfolio.
Gross rent minus PITIA excludes maintenance, vacancy, management, utilities, and other operating costs. It is not net cash flow. This analyzer is an initial estimate, not a loan approval; qualifying rent, ratio tiers, rates, leverage, and reserves depend on lender guidelines and your scenario.

Idaho Markets We Finance

Idaho's rental market has seen some of the strongest growth in the country over the past five years. I know these markets — and the DSCR lenders who understand them.

Treasure Valley
Boise · Nampa · Meridian · Caldwell · Eagle · Kuna
Idaho's primary growth corridor. Strong long-term rental demand driven by continued in-migration from CA, WA, and OR.
North Idaho
Coeur d'Alene · Post Falls · Sandpoint · Hayden
Popular short-term and long-term rental market. Outdoor recreation draws STR investors; lakeview properties command premium rents.
Eastern & South Idaho
Idaho Falls · Pocatello · Twin Falls · Sun Valley
Stable long-term rental markets with strong university and resort-driven demand. Lower entry prices with solid DSCR ratios.
Licensed in Idaho and other states. While Idaho is my home market, I originate DSCR loans nationwide. Whether you're buying in Boise or branching into another state, I can help structure the right loan.
DSCR Loan Tiers

These are introductory ratio bands, not universal lender rules. Pricing, maximum leverage, credit requirements, and reserves vary by lender, property, and loan purpose.

1.25+
Strong Coverage
Stronger coverage can improve pricing or leverage with some lenders. Exact pricing breakpoints vary by program.
1.0–1.24
Preferred Starting Tier
1.0 is a common starting benchmark for standard DSCR programs. Eligibility and pricing still depend on the full scenario.
0.75–0.99
Low Ratio
Select lenders consider low-ratio loans, often with pricing or leverage tradeoffs. Confirm the lender's ratio and property guidelines.
No Ratio
Down Payment & Credit-Based
No qualifying DSCR is required. Qualification is based on down payment and credit — normally 25% down with a 700 minimum score, subject to the specific program.

How I Work

Most mortgage originators optimize for the transaction. I optimize for the portfolio. Here's what that looks like in practice:

Qualify on the property
Your W2 and tax returns are not required. DSCR is based on what the property earns, not what you earn.
Structure before rate
A 0.25% better rate that kills your next deal isn't a win. We look at prepay terms, lender overlays, and your next move.
Lender selection is strategy
Not all DSCR lenders are interchangeable. Who you use for this deal affects whether the next one qualifies.
Think 2–3 deals ahead
Every loan decision should leave the door open for what comes next — not close it.
