Maryland's large rentals sit close to Washington, the Chesapeake and the beach, and they come with some of the heavier closing costs and rental rules in the region. A good lender helps you size the loan to the rent and plan for those costs early. Here is our guide, and why LendingStreet leads it.

These are general patterns by lender type. Individual lenders vary.

|---|---|---|---|
| Qualifying method | Property rent (DSCR); no tax returns | Personal income and tax returns | Equity and the deal |

| LLC ownership | Standard | Sometimes | Usually |
| Long-term fixed option | 30-year terms available | Often shorter terms for investors | No, short term |

This example is illustrative and not a quote. An investor buys a single-family home in Bethesda for $2,000,000 and leases it for $11,800 a month. The investor finances 65%, a loan of $1,300,000 on a 30-year term.
The DSCR is $11,800 divided by $10,799, or about 1.09x, above the standard 1.0x minimum. Higher leverage would push the payment past the rent, which is common on high-priced Montgomery County homes.
| Line item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Purchase price | $2,000,000 |
| Loan amount (65%) | $1,300,000 |
| Estimated principal and interest | $8,649 per month |
| Property taxes (estimate) | $1,850 per month |
| Insurance (estimate) | $300 per month |
| Total monthly payment | $10,799 |
| Monthly rent | $11,800 |
| DSCR | About 1.09x |
Maryland closing costs run heavier than in many states. There is a state transfer tax, and counties add their own transfer and recordation taxes, with Baltimore City and some counties on the higher end. On a $2M purchase these lines are significant, so get exact figures from your title company before you set your cash to close.
Rental licensing is common. Baltimore City, Montgomery County and Prince George's County require rental licenses or registration, often with inspections. Montgomery County also has a rent stabilization law that limits annual increases on many rentals, with exemptions, so model rent growth conservatively and check the county's current rules. Waterfront homes near the Chesapeake may need flood coverage, so get an insurance quote early.
Short-term rentals in Maryland are regulated city by city and county by county. Ocean City and Annapolis require rental licenses, Montgomery County has its own short-term rental license rules, and condo associations often add limits. Check with the city or county before you buy.
Where it is allowed, some of our programs can qualify a property on projected short-term rental revenue instead of a long-term lease. For a seasonal beach market, use a full-year figure.
Many Washington-area tenants are on two- or three-year assignments, so leases on high-end Montgomery County homes often renew or turn over on a predictable schedule. A signed lease at market rent, or a solid market rent estimate on a vacant home, is what we size the loan on.
Larger balances get more review, and max LTV can be lower, so it varies by program. Expect a full valuation, a careful look at the lease or rent roll, and attention to reserves. Five to eight units stay residential; nine or more units is commercial at /commercial.html.
Bring these questions to every lender you talk to:
Purchase leverage reaches 80% and cash-out 75%, varying by program on larger balances and 5-8 units. The standard DSCR minimum is 1.0x, and sub-1.0 programs exist. Cash-out seasoning varies by program. LLC borrowers are standard. We map out documents and timing at the start, and our DSCR program has no stated maximum.
