If the estimated market rent exceeds the lease amount by more than 120%, the estimated market rent is capped at 120%. o A vacant or unleased property is allowed without LTV restriction. o Unit subject to rent control or housing subsidy must utilize current contractual rent to calculate DSCR.

| Short Term Rental |
| Short-term rentals are properties which are leased on a nightly, weekly, monthly, or seasonal basis. Short-Term Rental Income – Purchase and Refinance Transactions: o LTV is lesser of 75% for a purchase and 70% for a refinance, or the LTV based upon the DSCR/FICO/Loan balance. (Excludes Condo Hotel projects) o DSCR Calculation: ▪ Monthly gross rents based upon a 12-month average to account for seasonality required. ▪ Gross rents reduced by 20% to reflect extraordinary costs (i.e., advertising, furnishings, cleaning) associated with operating short-term rental property compared to non-short term property. If the rental documentation referenced below includes expenses, actual expenses should be compared to the 20% expense factor. If actual expenses are less than 20%, a minimum 20% expense factor is required to be utilized. If actual expense exceeds 20%, the actual expense factor should be used. ▪ (Gross Rents * .80) divided by PITIA = DSCR. When short-term rental income is documented using multiple sources, the lowest source of monthly income is to be utilized for calculating DSCR. Any of the following methods may be used to determine gross monthly rental income: o A 1007 or 1025 Comparable Rent Schedule survey prepared by the appraiser reflecting long-term or short-term market rents. ▪ Provide the source of the data used to complete the STR analysis. ▪ INclude comparable STR properties, focusing on room count, gross living area (GLA), location and market appeal. ▪ Indlue daily rental rate and occupancy percentage. ▪ Factor seasonality and vacancy into the analysis. ▪ Must be completed by a licensed appraiser. o The most recent 12-month rental history statement from the 3rd party rental/management service. ▪ The statement must identify the subject property/unit, rents collected for the previous 12-months, and all vendor management fees. The qualifying income must be net of all vendor or management fees. o The most recent 12-month bank statements from the borrower/guarantor evidencing short-term rental deposits. Borrower/guarantor must provide rental records for the subject property to support monthly deposits. o AIRDNA Rentalizer/Property Earning Potential Report accessed using the Explore Short-Term Rental data, must meet the following: ▪ Rentalizer (Property Earning Potential Report) Only allowed for purchase transaction -Gross rents equal the revenue projection from the Property Earning Potential Report less the 20% extraordinary expense factor Forecast period must cover 12-months and dated 90-days within the Note date Maximum occupancy limited to 2 individuals per bedroom Must have three (3) comparable properties similar in size, room count, amenities, availability, and occupancy -Market score must be 60 or greater as reflected on the Property Earning Potential Report. |
