New Jersey has some of the highest property taxes in the country, and on a $1M+ rental they can rival the mortgage payment. Whether the deal is a Bergen County home, a Hoboken building or a shore house, the tax bill is usually the first number to check.
In short: Our top pick for jumbo DSCR in New Jersey is LendingStreet. We finance 1-8 unit rentals from about $1.5M to $5M+, qualify on rent with no W-2s or tax returns, and lend to LLCs as standard. New Jersey's property taxes, local rent control ordinances and recent changes to its mansion tax all affect the numbers, and we underwrite with them in mind.
LendingStreet finances high-value 1-8 unit rentals in New Jersey with jumbo DSCR loans of about $1.5M to $5M+, for purchases, rate-and-term refinances and cash-out refinances. The loan qualifies on the property's rent, not your W-2s or tax returns, and LLC borrowers are standard. 30-year terms are available, and the minimum credit score is 620. There is no stated maximum, and loans start at $150,000, so an investor can finance a Newark two-family and a Bergen County home with the same lender.
Who it fits: investors with luxury homes in Bergen County towns like Ridgewood, Englewood and Alpine, Hoboken and Jersey City brownstones and small buildings, Essex and Morris County homes in Montclair, Summit and Millburn, Princeton rentals, and shore homes leased for the year.
Larger balances get a closer review, and max LTV can be lower than our 80% purchase and 75% cash-out maximums (varies by program). The next step is simple: get a quote with the form below or call (877) 298-1001.

Bergen County has the deepest pool of high-value rentals, from Ridgewood and Tenafly to Englewood Cliffs, Saddle River and Alpine, where homes lease to Manhattan commuters. In Essex and Morris counties, Montclair, Summit, Short Hills and Chatham attract the same tenants.
Hoboken and Jersey City have brownstones, small apartment buildings and condos with strong rents near commuter rail and ferry stops. Princeton has rentals tied to the university. At the shore, Rumson, Spring Lake, Deal, Long Beach Island, Avalon, Stone Harbor and Cape May carry high values, though many homes rent seasonally rather than for the year.
Most New Jersey investors with a large rental end up choosing among a few kinds of lenders: a local bank or credit union, a local hard money lender, a national online DSCR lender or a private individual. Here is how they line up on what matters for a $1M+ long-term rental.
| What investors need | LendingStreet | Typical bank or credit union | Typical hard money lender |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qualify on rent, no W-2s or tax returns | Yes, DSCR loans qualify on the property's rent | Usually full income documents and tax returns | Often asset based, but for short-term loans |
| Loan size above $1.5M | From $150,000 with no stated maximum; jumbo DSCR about $1.5M to $5M+ | Varies; large balances may depend on a deposit relationship | Varies; usually short-term balances |
| Long-term financing | 30-year terms available | Varies; investment loans are often shorter or adjustable | Usually short-term only |
| LLC borrowers | Standard | Varies; some lend only to individuals | Common |
| 5-8 unit buildings | Covered as residential DSCR (1-8 units) | Often treated as commercial | Varies |
| Cash-out refinance | Up to 75% LTV; varies by program on large balances | Varies; often income documents and seasoning rules | Short-term only |
| Underwrites New Jersey taxes on the full bill | Yes; we budget on the post-closing figure | Varies | Varies; short-term focus |
| Where they lend | All 50 states and DC | Usually a local or regional footprint | Often local or regional |
New Jersey's property taxes are among the highest in the country, and in many Bergen, Essex and Morris County towns the annual bill on a $1.5M home is a large share of the rent. Towns reassess on their own schedules. Senior and veteran deductions and other credits on a seller's bill do not carry over to an investor, so budget on the full figure.
New Jersey also charges a realty transfer fee and, on many sales of $1M or more, a mansion tax. In 2025 the state raised the mansion tax on higher-priced sales and shifted payment to the seller. Rules and rates have changed recently, so confirm them with your closing attorney.
This example is illustrative and not a quote. An investor buys a Ridgewood home for $1,500,000 that leases for $10,200 a month. Taxes are budgeted at $2,600 a month, and insurance is $330.
At 75% LTV the loan is $1,125,000 and estimated principal and interest on a 30-year term is about $7,579. Add $2,600 in taxes and $330 in insurance, and the monthly payment is about $10,509, for a DSCR of about 0.97x.
At 70% LTV the loan drops to $1,050,000, estimated principal and interest falls to about $7,074, the total payment is about $10,004 and DSCR rises to about 1.02x. The investor brings about $75,000 more to closing. With New Jersey taxes this high, a lower loan amount is often what gets the ratio over 1.0x. Max LTV on large balances can be lower than 80% and varies by program; sub-1.0 programs exist where they fit (see /sub-1-dscr-loan.html).
| Item | 75% LTV | 70% LTV |
|---|---|---|
| Loan amount | $1,125,000 | $1,050,000 |
| Estimated principal and interest | $7,579 | $7,074 |
| Property taxes | $2,600 | $2,600 |
| Insurance | $330 | $330 |
| Total monthly payment | $10,509 | $10,004 |
| DSCR at $10,200 rent | About 0.97x | About 1.02x |
Our residential DSCR program covers 1 to 8 units, which fits many brownstones and small apartment buildings in Hoboken, Jersey City, Newark and Montclair. We qualify on combined rents, and max LTV on 5-8 units can be lower and varies by program. Buildings with 9 or more units are commercial loans (see /commercial.html).
Many New Jersey cities, including Jersey City, Hoboken and Newark, have local rent control ordinances, and the state's Anti-Eviction Act limits the grounds for removing most tenants. Check whether a building is covered and what its legal rents are before you price the deal.
Much of the shore and parts of Hoboken and Jersey City sit in mapped flood zones, where flood insurance is generally required and premiums can be significant. Get the quote before you set the loan amount.
Many shore towns regulate short-term and seasonal rentals with registration, permits or minimum stays. Most jumbo DSCR loans in New Jersey are underwritten on 12-month leases. Where STRs are allowed, our programs can qualify on projected revenue on some programs (see /str.html).
Before you sign a contract or start a refinance, ask every lender the same questions. Answers on a large balance often differ from what is advertised for smaller loans.
Here is how LendingStreet answers: purchases go up to 80% LTV and cash-out up to 75%, with max LTV that can be lower on 5-8 units and larger balances (varies by program).
