Key Considerations for Tampa Investors

DSCR ratio qualification

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

Property type considerations

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

Cash-out refi strategy

Tampa's 5.1% YoY appreciation makes cash-out refinancing attractive. Typical caps: 70-75% LTV. Use equity to acquire more Tampa properties.
