Once all the loan documents are submitted, the Loan File goes through underwriting, at which point the underwriting committee may ask for additional documents depending on their discretion. Once the committee receives all the documents and approves the file, closing can be scheduled.

The closing, will be handled by the title company or at the office of closing attorney. Once closing is complete, funds will be wired. Post closing, the loan will be entered into servicing and you will receive information regarding setting up auto-pay or other options that may be available for your loan depending on the specific servicer's capabilities.

Why use Delaware DSCR Loans to buy investment properties?

DSCR (debt-service coverage ratio) loans can help real estate investors shorten their cash cycle and grow their rental portfolios more rapidly in a few key ways. First, the higher leverage and lower down payments allowed by DSCR loans mean investors can acquire more properties with the same amount of cash on hand, rather than tying it all up in larger down payments. Additionally, the option for interest-only payments creates more positive cash flow that can be reinvested into new property acquisitions. Finally, DSCR underwriting based solely on the rental income of the property itself, rather than the investor's personal income, enables investors to scale their portfolios more quickly without running into debt-to-income ratio restrictions.

What areas of Delaware are good for investment properties?

Delaware, the second-smallest state in the U.S., offers a unique proposition for real estate investors. While the overall population growth is projected to be slow and steady, the state's focus on stability and affordability makes it an attractive option for renters.

The favorable business climate in Delaware, known for its corporation-friendly laws, attracts numerous businesses, creating a stable job market for potential renters. Compared to national averages, Delaware offers a lower cost of living, appealing to renters seeking value, which can translate into strong rental yields for investors. Additionally, Delaware's thriving tourism industry, with its beautiful beaches and historic towns, impacts rental demand in coastal areas and popular destinations, especially during peak seasons.

Greater Wilmington Area

Wilmington is experiencing slow but steady growth, with an estimated 10,000 new residents expected in the next five years. The local economy is driven by finance (with multiple banking institutions), healthcare (ChristianaCare employing 18,000 people), and manufacturing (particularly in the chemical industry).

• 19801 (Downtown Wilmington): This revitalized downtown area features a growing entertainment district and numerous job opportunities. Rents here could see moderate increases due to demand from young professionals.
• 19710 (Brandywine Hundred): An upscale suburban area known for its excellent schools and proximity to major employers. Rents in this region could see stable growth due to limited housing availability and steady demand from families.
• 19703 (Newark): A university town with a mix of students (University of Delaware with 23,000 students) and young professionals. Rents in this neighborhood could see moderate increases due to student demand, with fluctuations during academic semesters. Proximity to Wilmington could also drive some rental increases.

Dover Area

Dover is experiencing slow growth, with an estimated 5,000 new residents expected in the next five years. The local economy is supported by state government, healthcare (Bayhealth Kent General Hospital), and logistics.

• 19901 (Downtown Dover): This area is undergoing revitalization with a focus on arts and entertainment. Rents here could see moderate increases as demand rises.
• 19904 (Kent Acres): A family-friendly area known for its good schools and proximity to Dover. Rents in this neighborhood could see stable growth due to steady demand.
• 19903 (Milford): A growing town that attracts young professionals and families, located near Dover Air Force Base. Rents here could see moderate increases due to rising demand.
