What is a good DSCR ratio?

Most lenders want a DSCR of at least 1.0, meaning the property's income covers the debt payments. A DSCR of 1.25+ gets you better rates and terms.

Can I get a DSCR loan with no money down?

No. DSCR loans typically require 20-25% down. Some lenders may accept cross-collateralization to reduce cash needed.

Do DSCR loans show on my credit report?

It depends on the lender. Some report to credit bureaus, others don't. Ask your lender before closing.

Can I use a DSCR loan for a short-term rental?

Yes. Many DSCR lenders accept Airbnb/VRBO income. They typically use projected rental income from platforms like AirDNA or actual booking history.

Lansing Commercial Real Estate Market

Lansing's CRE market is defined by the twin anchors of Michigan's state government and Michigan State University in adjacent East Lansing. State office leasing in the Capitol complex area along Ottawa Street and Allegan Street provides a stable, if cyclical, tenant base for the downtown office market. The Stadium District redevelopment near the Lansing Lugnuts ballpark has introduced new mixed-use inventory to an otherwise slow-growth downtown. East Lansing's Grand River Avenue corridor benefits from MSU's 50,000-student population with steady retail and multifamily demand. Industrial activity is concentrated along the I-96 corridor and in the former GM-related manufacturing facilities in the Delta Township area.

Key Economic Drivers

●Michigan state government Capitol complex and legislative office demand
●Michigan State University's 50,000 students and associated research park facilities
●Sparrow Health System and McLaren Greater Lansing hospital campuses
●General Motors Lansing Delta Township and Lansing Grand River assembly plants

Market Insight

Lansing's Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Act exemptions allow owners of qualifying commercial properties to freeze the taxable value at the pre-renovation level for up to 12 years, providing significant incentive for rehabilitating the city's older downtown office and retail stock.
