5-step process for Padsplit investment property financing
Identify a suitable property (1-4 family or mixed-use) and get preliminary approval from Padsplit for the co-living model. This step ensures the property meets Padsplit's requirements for room conversions and rental potential.
Choose the appropriate Padsplit loan program based on your needs: DSCR (based on projected rental income), bank statement (for self-employed investors), or fix-to-rent (for properties needing renovation before Padsplit conversion).
Submit required documentation based on your chosen loan program. For DSCR loans, this typically includes property information, projected rental income, and borrower background information.
The property is appraised to determine value and rental income potential. Underwriters review the application, focusing on the property's ability to generate sufficient income to cover mortgage payments.
Once approved, closing documents are signed and funds are disbursed. After closing, property renovations (if needed) can begin to prepare for Padsplit operation and tenant placement.
Common questions about Padsplit investment property financing
Padsplit loans are specifically designed for properties operating under the Padsplit co-living model. They offer higher LTV ratios (up to 75-80%), flexible qualification methods like DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) and bank statement programs, and recognize the unique income potential of co-living arrangements. Traditional investment loans often have stricter qualification requirements and lower LTV limits.
Yes! We offer fix-to-rent loans specifically designed for properties that need renovation before they can be converted to Padsplit units. These loans include both purchase price and renovation costs in a single loan, making it easier to acquire and convert properties for co-living use.
DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) is a qualification method that focuses on the property's ability to generate enough rental income to cover the mortgage payment. For Padsplit loans, we use projected rental income based on Padsplit's platform data. A DSCR of 1.0 or higher means the property generates enough income to cover the mortgage payment. This method eliminates the need for personal income verification, making it ideal for investors.
The typical timeline for Padsplit loan approval is 21-30 days from application to closing. Factors that can affect the timeline include property type, loan program complexity, and documentation completeness. Our streamlined process for Padsplit-specific financing helps expedite approvals compared to traditional investment property loans.
Absolutely! We offer cash-out refinance options specifically for Padsplit properties. You can access up to 75% of your property's value to fund renovations for Padsplit conversion or to use the equity for other investments. The qualification is based on the property's projected Padsplit income rather than traditional income verification.
