How much do I need to put down on a 2–4 unit multi-family in Beaver Creek, CO?

25% is the working minimum on a DSCR loan for this product — about $1,382,500 at the $5,530,000 price point modeled here — plus closing costs of roughly 2%–4% and three to six months of PITIA in reserves ($100,506 to $201,013). Putting more down improves the ratio and moves you into a better pricing tier, which is often the cheapest way to buy down the rate.

What DSCR ratio does a 2–4 unit multi-family in Beaver Creek hit?

At the median basis modeled on this page, roughly 0.62x — $20,832 of creditable monthly income against $33,502 of PITIA. Most lenders want 1.0x or better for base pricing, several fund to 0.75x with a rate add-on, and no-ratio products exist for files that do not cash-flow at all. The ratio is property-specific, so the number on your address will differ.

Can I close a 2–4 unit multi-family in Beaver Creek in an LLC?

Yes. DSCR loans are business-purpose loans, so title in an LLC, LP or trust is standard and does not change pricing. You will personally guarantee the note and provide the operating agreement, EIN and certificate of good standing. Conventional investor financing does not allow entity title, which is one of the main reasons investors choose DSCR even when they could document income.

Is a duplex in Beaver Creek financed as residential or commercial?

Residential. Two-to-four unit properties stay on residential paper: 30-year fixed available, a Form 1025 appraisal with a per-unit rent schedule, and DSCR qualification on total rents. Five units and above moves to commercial underwriting with shorter terms and a balloon. That four-unit ceiling is why small multifamily is the sweet spot for most investors.

2–4 Unit Multi-Family investing in Beaver Creek

A 2–4 unit property in Beaver Creek is still residential financing — it is underwritten on the 1025 Small Residential Income Property appraisal rather than a commercial rent roll, so you keep 30-year fixed terms while spreading vacancy risk across multiple doors. Losing one tenant in a duplex costs you roughly half your income instead of all of it.

At the Beaver Creek median of $3,500,000, a 2–4 unit multi-family prices near $5,530,000 for a typical duplex — small multifamily trades at a premium per building but a discount per door. Minimum down is 25% ($1,382,500), leaving a loan of $4,147,500. Estimated all-in PITIA runs about $33,502 per month.

The Beaver Creek ratio math on this product

Two units should produce roughly $20,832/month combined — about $10,416 per door, since per-unit rents in small multifamily typically sit below the detached market rent in Beaver Creek. Against a PITIA of $33,502, that is an estimated DSCR ratio of 0.62x. That is below the 1.0 threshold, which is normal at this basis. Financing here works one of three ways — more money down, a no-ratio DSCR product, or qualifying on documented short-term rental revenue.

Underwriting notes specific to 2–4 unit files: the appraisal is a Form 1025 with a full rent schedule per unit, 25% down is the normal floor, and reserves are usually six months of PITIA rather than three. Expect a separate line item for common-area utilities, and confirm whether the units are separately metered — master-metered buildings shift a real expense onto you that the ratio math above does not carry.

Returns and structure

Return metrics at the Beaver Creek median for this product: an estimated cap rate of 2.80%, and monthly cash flow of $12,670 negative at 25% down. Negative cash flow at the minimum down payment is common in appreciation-led markets; investors close the gap with a larger down payment, a purchase below median, an added unit, or a rate buydown. Note that the $4,147,500 loan amount exceeds the $1,249,125 conforming limit for Eagle County, so agency pricing is off the table and this is a jumbo DSCR file.
