No W-2. No Tax Returns.
A DSCR loan in Allentown qualifies on the property's rent rather than your W-2 or tax returns — business-purpose financing for non-owner-occupied rentals, available to LLCs as standard. What makes Allentown its own underwriting problem: Pennsylvania is judicial. That is exactly the kind of variable that one lender's credit box handles badly and thirty handle well, which is how LendingStreet structures the file.

The rental stock is dense pre-war rowhouse and twin stock in Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton, and post-war and newer suburban single-family across the Valley.
Pennsylvania is judicial. The Lehigh Valley has drawn investors priced out of New Jersey and Philadelphia, and the I-78 warehouse boom has produced a large logistics-worker tenant base. Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton are three cities with three tax rates and three permitting regimes.
Because the tax line is the swing factor here, run the DSCR with the actual current bill and the reassessed figure after purchase — in Allentown they are frequently not the same number, and the lender will use the higher one.
Standard ranges across our capital sources: $150,000 with no maximum loan amount, up to 80% LTV on purchase and 75% on cash-out, 1.00 minimum ratio with sub-1.0 and no-ratio at select sources, 620 minimum credit, 30-year fixed, LLC vesting with personal guaranty, 14 to 21 days to close. Full detail and the current rate floor are on the DSCR loan page. The figures on your file depend on the source, the property and the ratio.
The Allentown–Bethlehem–Easton (Lehigh Valley) metro — Allentown plus Bethlehem, Easton, Whitehall, Emmaus, Macungie and Nazareth — and the rest of Pennsylvania via the Pennsylvania DSCR page. Investor activity in Allentown concentrates in West End, Old Allentown, Center City, Southside Bethlehem, College Hill (Easton); the loan is underwritten identically anywhere in the metro.
Run the ratio in the DSCR calculator with real Allentown tax and insurance figures before you submit — those lines decide more ratios here than the rate does.

It affects the lender's side. A faster recovery timeline widens the pool of sources comfortable writing there; a slower one makes some conservative on leverage. We account for it when structuring the loan.
STR demand is event-driven and thin; underwrite on long-term rent. We underwrite on long-term market rent.
Almost always the tax line. In Allentown the lender uses the reassessed bill after purchase, which is often higher than the seller's current bill.
