Higher Revenue, Flexible Financing
Short-term rentals can generate 2-3x the income of traditional long-term rentals in the right markets. DSCR lenders recognize this — accepting platform income and projections to qualify your deal.
Airbnb & VRBO Income Qualification
DSCR lenders accept short-term rental income from all major platforms. For new acquisitions, lenders use AirDNA projections based on comparable properties.
AirDNA Market Analysis
We use AirDNA data to project nightly rates, occupancy rates, and annual revenue for your target property before you make an offer.
Higher Revenue Potential
Short-term rentals often generate 2-3x the income of long-term rentals in tourism markets like Orlando, Gatlinburg, and beach towns.
No US Credit Required
Foreign national DSCR programs for STR properties require no US credit score, no SSN, and no US employment documentation.
Close in Your LLC
Hold your STR in a US LLC for liability protection — especially important given higher guest turnover and exposure.
STR Regulation Research
We help verify that your target property is in an STR-friendly market with favorable local regulations before you commit.
