Published terms
Terms assessed per file — set on the deal, not unavailable.
Reserves are months of PITIA liquidity. An em dash means that lens is assessed per file — the numbers are set on the deal, not that leverage is unavailable. Figures are program parameters shown for comparison across property types, not an offer of credit. Greenstreet is a mortgage broker; terms, pricing, and eligibility are set by the lender on each file.

Lens 01 · Rental DSCR Scenario
Single Family Rental (SFR)
1-Unit Detached Homes, Townhomes & PUDs
Single Family Residential is the bedrock of DSCR lending. Qualification is 100% property-based using appraised market rent (FNMA Form 1007) or active lease agreement.
Built for
Buy-and-Hold Investors seeking long-term debt lock with zero W-2/Tax Return friction.
Debt path
30-Year Fixed or 5/6 ARM
Income evidence
LOWER of Signed Lease or Form 1007 Appraisal Market Rent
Why this loan fits
A 30-Year Fixed DSCR loan locks low debt service for three decades with no refinancing risk. Switch to a 5/6 ARM if initial rate buydown is needed to clear 1.25x DSCR.
Tax and depreciation note
Reclassify 20–25% of building basis into 5/7/15-year bonus depreciation under OBBBA rules, creating massive year-1 passive loss offsets. Using them against wages and other ordinary income generally takes real estate professional status plus material participation in the rental, or material participation in a short-term rental; otherwise the passive-loss limits apply.
Decision checkpoint
Stress one full vacancy, a major system replacement, and realistic property-management costs before relying on the headline cash flow.
The investment case
Deep tenant demand and familiar lease structures in most markets
Straightforward comparable sales can support valuation and resale
Simpler operations than multi-tenant or mixed-use properties
The operating friction
One vacancy can remove the property's entire rental income
A major repair is supported by only one rent stream
Scaling a scattered portfolio can increase travel and vendor complexity
