What is DSCR cash-out refinance?
Concept
Refinance existing investment property mortgage (any type — conventional, DSCR, hard money) to NEW larger DSCR loan. Cash extracted from equity.
Key elements
- Property cash flow analysis: new DSCR ratio must still meet lender minimum (typically 1.10-1.25)
- No personal income required: that's the point of DSCR
- Investor must show reserves (typically 6-12 months PITI)
- Standard credit: 660-720+ depending on lender
Math example
- Investment property value: $725K
- Current mortgage balance: $385K
- Property NOI: $58K/yr
- Pull cash-out to 75% LTV: $544K new loan
- Cash extracted: $544K - $385K - $5K closing = $154K
- New DSCR: NOI($58K) / Debt Service($43K) = 1.35 (qualifies)
- Use cash to: buy next property, renovation, capital
When DSCR cash-out makes sense
Use case 1: BRRRR refinance (most common)
BRRRR = Buy-Rehab-Rent-Refinance-Repeat
- B (Buy): purchase distressed property
- R (Rehab): renovate to increase value + rentability
- R (Rent): lease to qualified tenant
- R (Refinance): DSCR cash-out at new (higher) value
- R (Repeat): use cash from refi to buy next property
Use case 2: Portfolio scaling
Scenario:
- Investor has 3 NV rentals; one has appreciated significantly
- Pull cash-out from one to fund down payment on 2 more
- Net portfolio growth via leverage
Use case 3: Debt consolidation across portfolio
Scenario:
- Several high-rate hard money loans on properties
- Refinance to single DSCR loan
- Lower aggregate rate + simpler servicing
Use case 4: Capital for major renovation
Scenario:
- Investment property needs $75K renovation
- Pull equity to fund renovation
- Renovation increases rent + value
- Cash-out covers renovation + buffer
Use case 5: Personal capital
Scenario:
- Investor wants to start new business
- Pull equity from rental portfolio
- Personal use of investment property cash extraction
- Trade-off: increased mortgage debt on rental

DSCR cash-out math: NV examples
Example 1: Las Vegas duplex BRRRR
Purchase phase:
- Buy duplex $325K (distressed)
- Down: $65K (20%); hard money $260K at 10%
Rehab phase:
- Renovate $50K
- Total invested: $115K (down + rehab)
Rent phase:
- Unit 1: $1,450/mo
- Unit 2: $1,550/mo
- Annual gross: $36K
- NOI: $26K (after vacancy + expenses)
Refi phase:
- Appraisal: $525K (post-rehab)
- DSCR cash-out to 75% LTV: $394K new loan
- Cash extracted: $394K - $260K - $5K closing = $129K
- Net cash position: $129K - $115K invested = +$14K
- PLUS: Now own duplex + ongoing cash flow
- BRRRR continues with next property
Example 2: Henderson 4-plex appreciation
- Bought 2022: $625K
- Current value: $785K (appreciated)
- Current mortgage: $498K (was 80% LTV)
- Current LTV: 63%

- DSCR cash-out to 75% LTV: $589K new loan
- Cash extracted: $91K (after costs)
- Use: down payment on next 4-plex
- Portfolio doubled via leverage
Example 3: Spring Valley single-family long hold
- 5 years ago: $385K SFR
- Current value: $625K
- Current mortgage: $245K (was 64%, now 39% LTV)
- NOI: $24K/yr
- DSCR cash-out to 75% LTV: $469K
- Cash extracted: $219K
- Use: 2 additional NV property down payments
- Significant portfolio expansion
Example 4: Reno duplex consolidation
- 2 properties, $385K + $425K
- Multiple high-rate hard money loans
- Refinance both to DSCR at 75% LTV
- New combined loans: $608K
- Old combined: $510K
- Cash extracted: $98K
- Use: paying down 3rd property + capital
Example 5: AVOID — Bay Area transplant low-rate
- Bay Area exec, primary residence in Henderson
- Investment property in NV at 4.5% conventional
- Considers DSCR cash-out for "more cash"
- Reality: DSCR cash-out at current market pricing; the rate trade-off can offset the cash benefit
- Mike's recommendation: Don't refinance low-rate to DSCR; use HELOC or cash flow
