About the Deal

The property is a single-family residence in Seminole, Florida, a Pinellas County market with strong long-term rental demand. The buyer is an experienced out-of-state investor who came in with a clear set of requirements: 20% down, positive cash flow, and a close in under 30 days. DSCR loans in Florida program let her qualify based on the property’s rental income, which meant her employment situation did not factor into the transaction. The property cleared the cash flow bar with room to spare, and the deal closed in less than 30 days.

What Made It Special

• Strong DSCR at 80% LTV. Maintaining a DSCR above 1.0 at 80% LTV means the property’s market rent covers the full PITIA payment with leverage in place. This property came in at 1.42 — a comfortable margin that reflects both the income quality of the asset and the soundness of the purchase price.
• Sub-30-day close. Speed matters in competitive markets. This deal closed in under 30 days from application. For an experienced investor who has seen how deals can stall, that timeline represents real value — particularly in a Florida market where seller expectations on timing are high.
• Out-of-state execution. The investor purchased the property from states away and closed without traveling to Florida. A DSCR purchase loan qualifies on the property’s income, not the borrower’s location. That structure makes remote investing practical rather than exceptional.

The Result

The completed DSCR purchase delivered a 1.42 DSCR Florida rental with 20% down, closed in under 30 days.
