Summary
Robin Simon, President of Harpoon Capital, cited the active investor markets in Boise, Coeur d'Alene, Bend and the Oregon Coast as reasons for the expansion. Simon said a DSCR loan qualifies a property on the income it generates rather than on the borrower's personal income, tax returns or debt-to-income ratio, and that this is the focus of the firm's business.
According to the company, its DSCR program includes 30-year fixed-rate loans with interest-only options; purchase financing up to 85% LTV and cash-out refinances up to 80% LTV on select programs; short-term rental financing that can qualify on 100% of STR projections or trailing 12-month income on select programs; and no minimum DSCR on select programs. Loans range from $50,000 to $4,000,000, and the firm offers LLC-friendly closings and options for first-time investors. Harpoon Capital also publishes a free online guide, The DSCR Loans Guide, adapted from Simon's book, "The Book on DSCR Loans."
The release notes that the loans are business-purpose only, are not available for owner-occupied properties, and are subject to credit approval and program terms. It is not a commitment to lend.
