Questions brokers ask.
Can a loan below a 0.75 DSCR be refinanced?
The below-0.75 DSCR columns are purchase only. Refinance eligibility must be reviewed in a qualifying higher coverage band.
What changes for a non-warrantable condo?
The matrix calls for a leverage reduction. Review the project requirements together with other applicable overlays rather than relying only on the headline maximum.
