DSCR Cash-Out Refinance
A DSCR cash-out refinance replaces an existing loan on an investment property with a larger loan, letting eligible borrowers access equity as loan proceeds for business purposes. Eligible programs may qualify using the property’s rental income. Available proceeds depend on property value, program leverage limits, and underwriting.

How a DSCR Cash-Out Refinance Works
In a cash-out refinance, the new loan pays off the existing loan and provides additional proceeds based on the property’s equity. On DSCR programs, the property’s qualifying rental income may be used to evaluate the new loan.
What Affects Available Proceeds
The amount available depends on the property value, the program’s leverage (LTV) limits, and underwriting. Higher leverage can affect pricing and the property’s cash flow. Because these programs are business-purpose, proceeds are generally intended for business or investment use.
