Example Columbia scenarios
Columbia rental purchase
An investor considering small campus-area rentals and established houses submits the rent roll, leases and purchase details for a DSCR review. Eligibility depends on legal unit count, rental income, appraisal and loan size.
Working capital for a government services business
A business in Columbia operating as a government services business requests capital for materials, inventory or payroll while customer payments are outstanding. The review considers operating history, revenue and existing obligations rather than assuming approval from the industry alone.
Illustrative scenarios, not completed client transactions — terms depend on your property, revenue and credit.
Common questions
How should student leases be documented for a Columbia rental?
Provide signed leases, their start and end dates, rent collected, vacancy history and any summer lease gaps. Use documented annual income rather than assuming the academic-year monthly rent continues all year; the property's legal unit count and permitted occupancy also need review.
What should I prepare for a Columbia rental loan review?
For small campus-area rentals and established houses, provide leases or supported market rents, taxes, insurance, association dues if applicable, and legal unit information. These expenses affect rental cash flow. DSCR loans start at $75,000; short-term use, accessory units and condo projects require program-specific review.
