How STR DSCR Loans Work

Three steps from AirDNA projection to funded loan

STR DSCR loans are the only realistic way to finance an Airbnb without 12 months of operating history. Here's how it works.

1

Pull AirDNA projection

The lender (or you) runs an AirDNA Rentalizer report on the subject property. It projects what the property would have earned over the last 12 months in its specific submarket based on actual comp data — not your assumptions.

2

Apply income haircut

The lender takes the AirDNA gross projected revenue and applies a haircut — typically 80–90% — to account for vacancy, management, and platform fees. Net STR income is what counts toward the DSCR calculation.

3

Calculate DSCR & price

Net STR income ÷ (P&I + taxes + insurance + HOA) = DSCR. Hit 1.0+ and you qualify standard. We have programs that accept down to 0.75 DSCR, plus no-ratio STR programs for the right files.

Why investors choose us for Airbnb financing

Short-term rental DSCR isn't every lender's specialty — it is ours

🏖

STR-native underwriting

Many DSCR lenders only do long-term rental. We've placed STR loans in every major vacation market in the US — we know which wholesale lenders price aggressively on AirDNA files and which ones will haircut your income to death.

🏡

Condotels & cabins financed

Most lenders cap at warrantable condos and standard SFRs. We have condotel programs (Orlando, Vegas, Hawaii), cabin programs (Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Broken Bow), and even tiny-home/A-frame programs.

🌍

50+ lenders shopped

Independent broker. We shop your STR file across 50+ wholesale lenders — including the 8–10 that genuinely understand STR — and bring you the best rate. Direct lenders only have one rate sheet.

📈

No-ratio & low-DSCR programs

Your AirDNA come in at 0.85? We have lenders who fund down to 0.75 DSCR. Strong credit + 30% down? We have no-ratio STR programs that skip the AirDNA calculation entirely.

🌐

Foreign nationals welcome

Heavy in Orlando, Miami, Las Vegas, Park City — STR is a foreign-national-favorite asset class. We close foreign-national STR deals without US tax returns or US credit. 65–70% LTV available.

FAQ

Airbnb & short-term rental loans — common questions

How do you qualify for an Airbnb loan when the property has no rental history?
DSCR short-term rental loans use AirDNA's projected market revenue — a third-party data service that estimates what a property would have earned over the last 12 months in its specific submarket. The lender takes the AirDNA Rentalizer report and applies a haircut (usually 80–90% of projected revenue) to calculate Debt Service Coverage Ratio. No actual rental history is required. This is the only viable path to financing an Airbnb purchase before you've operated it.
What DSCR ratio do I need for a short-term rental loan?
Most lenders require 1.0 DSCR on the AirDNA projection. DSCR Capital Partners has programs that accept down to 0.75 DSCR, and even no-ratio STR programs for strong-credit borrowers with significant down payment. The lower the DSCR, the higher your rate and down payment will be. A property at 1.20+ DSCR will price at the best available rate; one at 0.85 DSCR will price 0.50–0.75% higher and require 25–30% down.
Can I get a loan on a condotel for short-term rental?
Yes. Condotels are notoriously difficult to finance through conventional channels because Fannie/Freddie won't touch them, but we have wholesale lender partners that specifically program condotels — especially in Orlando (Disney resort condotels), Las Vegas (Strip condotels like Veer Towers, Trump, Vdara), and Hawaii (Waikiki). Expect 70–75% LTV and rates slightly above standard STR DSCR pricing.
Do short-term rental loans cost more than long-term rental loans?
Slightly. STR programs typically price 0.25–0.50% above LTR DSCR rates because short-term rental income is considered more volatile than 12-month lease income. The income upside usually more than offsets the rate premium — STR cash flow is often 2–3x LTR cash flow in the same property. A Smoky Mountains cabin that would rent long-term for $1,800/mo can easily clear $5,000–$8,000/mo as an STR.
Are foreign nationals eligible for Airbnb loans?
Yes. Foreign nationals are very active in US STR markets — especially Orlando, Miami, Las Vegas, and Park City. Expect 65–70% LTV instead of 80%, and rates roughly 1.0–1.5% above standard STR DSCR pricing. No US tax returns, no US credit score required. We close with a foreign passport, foreign credit reference (or a 3-letter alternative credit history), and proof of funds. See our foreign national loan page for more.
Can I use an Airbnb loan for a property in a city that has STR restrictions?
Generally yes, but the underwriter will verify the property is permitted or grandfathered for STR use. In markets like Honolulu, Santa Monica, New York City, Phoenix, and parts of New Orleans, you'll need to provide proof of a valid STR permit or that the property qualifies under existing rules. We can usually navigate this with the right documentation — just tell us upfront where the property is and what permit status it holds.
Can I refinance an existing Airbnb into a DSCR loan and pull cash out?
Yes. If you've owned the property and operated it as an STR, we can use either your actual 12-month STR P&L or the AirDNA projection (whichever is higher) for the DSCR calculation. Cash-out refis on STR properties cap at 75% LTV. Seasoning requirement is typically 3–6 months from purchase or initial STR operation. Great for BRRRR strategies in cabin markets.
How long does it take to close an STR DSCR loan?
14–21 days for clean files. The appraisal is usually the long pole — STR appraisals require an STR-experienced appraiser who can pull AirDNA and STR rental comps, and those appraisers can be scarce in some submarkets. We pre-vet the appraiser pool to keep the file on track.
