Short-Term Rental investing in Alexandria

Short-term rental financing in Alexandria is a different underwriting product than a long-term DSCR loan even though it carries the same name. The lender is crediting nightly revenue instead of a signed lease, which means the documentation, the reserve requirement, and the permit diligence all change.

At the Alexandria median of $650,000, a short-term rental prices near $650,000. Minimum down is 25% ($162,500), leaving a loan of $487,500. Estimated all-in PITIA runs about $4,145 per month.

The Alexandria ratio math on this product

Gross nightly revenue in Alexandria models to about $5,450/month across a full year. Lenders do not credit that dollar-for-dollar — a 28% haircut for vacancy, cleaning, platform fees and management leaves $3,924 of creditable income. Against a PITIA of $4,145, that is an estimated DSCR ratio of 0.95x. That lands just under 1.0. It does not kill the deal in Alexandria: moving to a larger down payment ($195,000) usually closes the gap, and several shelves fund down to 0.75x with a rate add-on.

Underwriting notes specific to STR files: plan on 25% down as the floor, six months of PITIA in reserves, and either twelve months of Airbnb/VRBO earnings statements on the subject property or a third-party market revenue study for a property with no operating history. Short-term rental activity is moderate here and local rules vary by zoning district. Verify the permit status of the exact address before you go hard on earnest money — an unpermitted STR is an unfinanceable STR on this product.
