The Miami rental market, from a lender's side of the table

The economy runs on international trade and finance, PortMiami and the cruise industry, the Jackson and Baptist health systems, tourism, and a large international buyer base. The rental stock is concrete-block single-family across Miami-Dade and Broward, a large condo inventory, and a basis among the highest in the Southeast.

Florida is judicial and slow to foreclose. South Florida windstorm and flood insurance is the most expensive in the country and is the decisive DSCR line — it can exceed the tax line. Post-Surfside condo reserve and inspection requirements have made condo underwriting materially harder and narrowed the lender field. A large share of buyers are international and cash, which shapes comparables. Foreign national programs are a common fit.

What to check before you submit a Miami file

Because the tax line is the swing factor here, run the DSCR with the actual current bill and the reassessed figure after purchase — in Miami they are frequently not the same number, and the lender will use the higher one.

Get a bindable insurance quote before you go under contract. In Miami the premium is large enough to move the ratio across the 1.0 line on its own.

A military tenant base produces reliable rent and predictable turnover on the PCS cycle. Some capital sources treat that as a positive; a few discount for concentration. State it in the file either way.

Scenarios we finance in Miami

Buying a Miami rental in an LLC
Entity vesting is standard and most capital sources prefer it. Operating agreement, articles, EIN and a personal guaranty from the members. Timeline unchanged — whether the property is in Little Havana, Allapattah or out in Hialeah.
Rent that covers the mortgage but not the tax or insurance line
The common Miami failure mode. Sub-1.0 and no-ratio programs exist at a minority of capital sources, at lower leverage. A larger down payment moves the ratio back over 1.0 and is often the cheaper fix.
Short-term rental in Miami
Miami Beach heavily restricts STRs; unincorporated Miami-Dade and parts of Broward permit them with registration. Confirm the municipality before underwriting nightly income. Projected revenue usually carries a haircut and reduced leverage; twelve months of history removes both.
Low-basis rental below a $150,000 minimum elsewhere
Our floor is $150,000. Below that, portfolio and blanket structures let several low-basis properties clear the minimum together.
Self-employed or complex returns
The loan qualifies on the property. In Miami that profile is common among owners with income tied to international trade and finance through contract or practice arrangements.

Who fits, what disqualifies, what to bring

Who fits
Investors buying or refinancing a non-owner-occupied rental anywhere in the Miami–Fort Lauderdale–West Palm Beach metro — Miami, Hialeah, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Miami Gardens, Homestead, Pompano Beach and West Palm Beach — in their own name or an entity.
What commonly disqualifies in Miami
Owner occupancy. A ratio below roughly 0.75 with no compensating strength. Nightly revenue with no supporting data.
What you will need
Contract or mortgage statement, lease or rent schedule, actual tax and insurance figures — the insurance quote especially, credit report, reserves, entity documents.
What happens next
One application. We package it, present it to the sources whose programs fit, and return terms. The source sets the rate and approval.

DSCR Loans in Miami, FL — Key Facts for Investors

Why is Miami a strong market for DSCR Loans investors?

Miami is an international market with constant inflow from Latin America, Europe, and domestic high-net-worth buyers. Tax-free Florida, warm weather, and post-pandemic remote work brought permanent migration. STR (short-term rental) is particularly strong — properties in Brickell, Wynwood, and Miami Beach generate significantly higher yields than traditional long-term rentals.

What should Miami investors know before applying?

DSCR ratio qualification

Miami rental properties typically need a DSCR of 1.10x to 1.25x to qualify. Higher DSCR unlocks better pricing. Properties in Coral Gables often qualify easily on gross rent alone.

Property type considerations

Miami markets favor SFR, 2-4 unit multifamily, and small apartment buildings. Some lenders impose condo restrictions. STRs require DSCR programs that accept projected revenue.

LLC and entity borrowing

All LendingStreet DSCR programs in Miami allow LLC borrowing with personal guarantees. Standard for asset protection.

Cash-out refi strategy

Miami's 7.1% YoY appreciation makes cash-out refinancing attractive. Typical caps: 70-75% LTV. Use equity to acquire more Miami properties.
