Daycare DSCR works

Daycare DSCR is for childcare buildings with a lease or documented operating income. We look at the property, not your personal tax returns.

Terms typically run 5 to 30 years, with a 30 year fixed available. On daycare properties, our max LTV is typically 70%.

  • Purchase a daycare or childcare facility
  • Rate-and-term refinance a loan on a building you already operate or lease
  • Take cash out, typically up to 70% LTV, for a second location or other business needs

Common questions

Daycare DSCR FAQ

Do daycare DSCR loans require tax returns?+
In most cases no. We qualify on the lease or operating income of the daycare, not your tax returns.
Does the daycare need a tenant lease?+
A lease is the cleanest path. Owner-operated daycare with documented operating income can also work.
Can I get a 30 year fixed on a daycare?+
Yes. Terms typically run from 5 years to 30 years, including a 30 year fixed.
What DSCR do I need on a daycare loan?+
None under $500,000. At $500,000 and above, typical minimum DSCR is 0.9.
Is commercial DSCR available for purchase?+
Yes. You can buy a leased-up commercial or income property with commercial DSCR. Typical loan size is $200,000 to $5,000,000+. Max LTV is usually 70% on most property types, or 75% on mixed use and multifamily.
Can I do a rate and term refinance with commercial DSCR?+
Yes. Rate-and-term refinance is available alongside purchase and cash-out refinance. Terms typically run 5 to 30 years, including a 30 year fixed, which is rare on commercial.
What is the maximum cash out LTV on commercial DSCR?+
Typically 70% LTV on retail, office, warehouse, daycare, self storage, and automotive. Mixed use, multifamily, and assisted living are typically 75%.
What DSCR do I need?+
Loans under $500,000 do not need to debt service. There is no minimum DSCR. On loans of $500,000 or more, the typical minimum is 0.9. That means the rent only needs to cover about 90% of the payment, which often lets you take a larger loan and keep more cash after closing.
What is the minimum credit score for commercial DSCR?+
Typical minimum FICO is 650. If credit is below 650, we can often still do the loan, usually capped at 50% LTV.
