What credit does
Credit is one input among several. A stronger file on experience or leverage can offset a weaker band, and the reverse is also true. On DSCR loans in particular, most lenders sit at a floor around 620–660, with the best terms reserved for 700+.
| FICO band | What it generally means |
|---|---|
| 740+ | Best published pricing; highest leverage tiers |
| 700–739 | Optimal DSCR terms generally require 700+ |
| 660–699 | Widely accepted; pricing steps up |
| 620–659 | Around the common DSCR floor of 620–660 |
| Below 620 | Limited; asset strength has to carry the file |
The number people forget
Points move the real cost more than the headline rate does on short-term debt. Three points on a twelve-month loan is three percent of the loan amount on top of the interest — on a nine-month flip, that is a materially different annualised cost from the rate you were quoted.
On DSCR loans the equivalent trap is the prepayment penalty. If there is any chance you sell or refinance inside the penalty window, that clause can cost more than the rate difference you were optimising for.
