Rate assumptions
No verified saved pricing is available for this selection. Assumptions and numbers will appear together when a compatible example is available.
Credit, equity, property use, rental-income treatment, reserves, fees and program requirements affect your options. One point is 1% of the loan amount; zero points does not mean zero closing costs. Review the selected prepayment penalty’s calculation with your loan officer.
Your actual rate, APR, payment and costs may be higher. Subject to underwriting and credit approval. Not an approval, commitment to lend, formal Loan Estimate or rate lock.

THE NUMBERS BEHIND THE RATE
Compare the whole DSCR quote.
A lower rate is one part of the decision.
Keep the property and loan assumptions consistent.
- Interest rate & APR
- The rate measures borrowing interest. APR also reflects points and certain finance charges. Neither number is your total monthly property expense.
- Points & closing costs
- One point is 1% of the loan amount. The rate change depends on actual pricing. Zero points does not mean zero closing costs.
- Payment & prepayment
- Budget for taxes, insurance and other property expenses alongside principal and interest. Review how any early-payoff penalty is calculated.

THE OHIO PROPERTY PICTURE
In Ohio, start with the county’s property record.
Ohio property records and tax administration are local. Review the county auditor’s parcel record, the assessment history and the treasurer’s current bill for the property. A tax estimate from a neighboring county or another home on the same street does not establish the expense for your rental.
Ohio’s reappraisal and update process means an older tax bill may not describe the expense over your planned ownership period. Ask the auditor when the parcel was last reviewed, whether a value change is pending and how to understand the current assessment. Use the actual bill and applicable local information instead of multiplying a statewide average by the purchase price.
For an older Cleveland, Columbus or Cincinnati property, separate the financing estimate from the operating budget. Insurance, repairs, maintenance and locally required rental registrations can affect your cash flow. Check municipal requirements directly; a county-level service label on this page does not establish a property’s rental permissions or condition.
UNDERSTANDING DSCR
A rental you
will not live in.
Debt-service coverage ratio compares qualifying rental income with a program-defined property obligation. This path covers long-term, non-owner-occupied rentals for business purposes. Credit, equity, reserves and other requirements still apply.
- The program defines the ratioRent evidence, payment components and minimum coverage depend on the selected program.
- Purpose mattersA refinance or cash-out request also needs a qualifying business purpose and use of proceeds.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you
make your move.
Need help with a specific property?
Will an Ohio county reappraisal change my DSCR loan rate?
A county assessment does not by itself set a loan rate. It may change the property-tax expense you need to budget and document. The selected program defines the obligations used in qualification, while credit, leverage, purpose and other pricing inputs still matter.
Can I use one Ohio tax estimate for properties in different counties?
Use property-specific records. County values, local levies and the details of each parcel can differ. Collect the current bill for each property and ask the county about pending changes before comparing potential rental cash flow.
What is a DSCR loan?
DSCR financing evaluates qualifying rental income against a program-defined property obligation. This path is for long-term, non-owner-occupied rentals with a qualifying business purpose. Credit, equity, reserves, property type and other underwriting requirements still apply.
Is the rate on this page my rate?
The card shows a saved representative example with its actual date and assumptions. Your property, credit, equity, purpose and the selected program determine your personalized options. An example is not an offer, approval or rate lock.
What should I compare beyond the interest rate?
Keep the scenario consistent and compare APR, points, closing costs, principal and interest, and any prepayment penalty. Include taxes, insurance, HOA dues and operating costs in your own property budget. The lowest interest rate does not necessarily mean the lowest total cost over your holding period.
Can I refinance or access equity?
Rate-and-term and cash-out refinance are separate scenarios. Eligibility depends on the property, equity, existing financing, business purpose and selected program. Cash-out proceeds also need an eligible use; the purchase example does not establish refinance pricing.
Can I speak to a loan officer without completing a quote?
Yes. Choose the contact option to enter your contact details and confirm the property state and purpose in the private experience. You do not have to request pricing first.
