No W-2. No Tax Returns.
A DSCR loan in New Haven 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 New Haven its own underwriting problem: Connecticut is judicial and slow to foreclose. That is exactly the kind of variable that one lender's credit box handles badly and thirty handle well, which is how LendingStreet places the file.

The rental stock is dense two- and three-family houses across New Haven and the Valley towns, a large student rental base near Yale, and post-war single-family in the suburbs.
Connecticut is judicial and slow to foreclose. New Haven and Waterbury multifamily — the classic two- and three-family — is the dominant investor product and carries a large per-unit tax load. Waterbury and Naugatuck price materially below New Haven for similar stock.
Because the tax line is the swing factor here, run the DSCR with the actual current bill and the reassessed figure after purchase — in New Haven they are frequently not the same number, and the lender will use the higher one.
A military and defense tenant base produces reliable rent and predictable turnover on the PCS cycle. Some capital sources treat that as a positive; a few discount it for concentration. Either way it is worth stating in the file.
Standard ranges across our capital sources: $150,000 to $3.5M, 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, 660 credit standard with 640 and 620 tiers, 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 New Haven–Waterbury metro — New Haven plus Waterbury, Naugatuck, Hamden, West Haven, Meriden and Milford — and the rest of Connecticut via the Connecticut DSCR page. Investor activity in New Haven concentrates in East Rock, Westville, Wooster Square, Fair Haven, the Hill; the loan is underwritten identically anywhere in the metro.
Run the ratio in the DSCR calculator with real New Haven 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 in placement.
Yale-driven mid-term rental demand is real; nightly STR is regulated and generally not the underwriting basis.
Almost always the tax line. In New Haven the lender uses the reassessed bill after purchase, which is often higher than the seller's current bill.
