Key Considerations for Nashville Investors

DSCR ratio qualification

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

Property type considerations

Nashville 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 Nashville allow LLC borrowing with personal guarantees. Standard for asset protection.

Cash-out refi strategy

Nashville's 6.2% YoY appreciation makes cash-out refinancing attractive. Typical caps: 70-75% LTV. Use equity to acquire more Nashville properties.
