Why a broker
Financing that starts with the building
The property qualifies, not your tax returns
DSCR underwriting divides the rent by the full payment. Qualification focuses on the building’s rental income.
We shop wholesale lenders for you
As a broker, we match your scenario to the lender whose guidelines, pricing and rent rules actually fit it — instead of forcing it through one menu.
Built for Massachusetts stock
Triple-deckers, mill-city doubles, Cape cottages and Red Line condos. We plan for the Massachusetts details that move the ratio: non-owner-occupied tax bills, old-building insurance, lead-paint paperwork and condo budgets.

The Commonwealth
Local context for the markets you actually buy in
Each market page covers the rental landscape, the housing stock and the underwriting notes that matter before you offer.
Boston
Boston is the state’s deepest rental market and its most expensive entry point. DSCR financing lets the building’s rent do the qualifying in a city where personal-income underwriting chokes on the price tags.
Worcester
Worcester is the heart of Massachusetts’s secondary-market investing: big stock of two- and three-unit buildings, rents that often cover payments with room, and entry prices Boston investors can only dream about.
Springfield
Springfield is western Massachusetts’s investment engine: low entry prices, deep multi-unit stock and rent-to-price math that often gives DSCR ratios room to breathe.
Cambridge
Cambridge pairs some of the state’s deepest rental demand with some of its highest prices. DSCR financing here is about precision: the rent is real, but the ratio has to be built carefully.
Common questions
What Massachusetts investors ask about DSCR loans
Can I get a DSCR loan on a Massachusetts rental?
Yes, for business-purpose, non-owner-occupied investment property. Wholesale DSCR programs cover Massachusetts single-family homes, warrantable condos, two- to four-family homes and, through small-balance programs, some larger walk-ups. Each lender sets its own credit, reserve and equity requirements, and the rent has to support the full payment. We are a broker, not a lender.
Can I use a DSCR loan on a triple-decker I will live in?
No. If you or a family member will live in any unit of a one- to four-family home, the loan is owner-occupied consumer financing, not a business-purpose DSCR loan. The loans arranged here require that no owner or family member occupies any unit. An all-rental two- or three-family, with every unit leased to tenants, can be a strong DSCR fit.
What are Massachusetts DSCR loan requirements?
Typically lender-set credit, reserve and equity minimums, an appraisal with a rent schedule, leases or market rent, insurance quotes, condo documents where relevant, and entity documents for LLC borrowers. Personal tax returns and W-2s generally are not used. Have lead-paint compliance status and security deposit records ready on any occupied building you are buying.
Can I finance a Boston or Cambridge short-term rental?
Generally not as an investor. Boston allows short-term rentals only in owner-occupied buildings and does not allow investor units, and Cambridge’s rules also center on owner-occupied homes. Lenders count short-stay income only from a lawful use, so investor property in those cities is underwritten on long-term rent. Cape Cod and the Islands have more vacation-rental activity, subject to state registration and town bylaws.
Can a Massachusetts LLC borrow on a DSCR loan?
Usually, yes, with personal guarantees from the members and the entity documents in good standing with the Secretary of the Commonwealth.
Are Massachusetts DSCR rates listed here?
No. Wholesale lenders price each file on credit, leverage, the ratio, property type, loan size and the market that day, so we do not publish pricing. Send a scenario and we will show you the options that actually fit your property.

Occupancy matters
Investor DSCR loan vs living in one unit of a two- or three-family
Massachusetts two- and three-family housing makes this question come up constantly. The two are different kinds of financing, and only one is arranged here.
| Factor | Investor DSCR loan (arranged here) | You live in one unit (not arranged here) |
|---|---|---|
| Occupancy | No owner or family member lives in any unit; every unit is a rental | You live in one unit |
| Loan type | Business-purpose loan | Consumer mortgage, regulated as owner-occupied lending |
| How you qualify | Combined rent compared with the full payment | Your personal income and debts |
| Borrower | An individual or an LLC | Individuals |
| Documents | Leases or market rent, appraisal, credit, assets, entity documents | Full personal income documentation |
Already moved out and every unit is now leased? A DSCR cash-out refinance may let the building qualify on its rent. More side-by-sides: DSCR vs hard money, Cash-out DSCR vs HELOC, STR vs LTR DSCR.
