Long-term rental property loans in Arizona are primarily designed for real estate investors seeking financing for residential properties (e.g., single-family homes, condos, or 2-4 unit multifamily) intended for long-term leases (typically 12+ months). These loans focus on the property’s rental income potential rather than the borrower’s personal income, making them accessible for investors with strong portfolios but irregular W-2s.
The most common type is the DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan, where qualification is based on the ratio of gross rental income to debt payments.
