Short-Term Rental investing in San Antonio

Short-term rental financing in San Antonio 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 San Antonio median of $290,000, a short-term rental prices near $290,000. Minimum down is 25% ($72,500), leaving a loan of $217,500. Estimated all-in PITIA runs about $2,110 per month.

The San Antonio ratio math on this product

Gross nightly revenue in San Antonio models to about $2,700/month across a full year. Lenders do not credit that dollar-for-dollar — a 28% haircut for vacancy, cleaning, platform fees and management leaves $1,944 of creditable income. Against a PITIA of $2,110, that is an estimated DSCR ratio of 0.92x. That lands just under 1.0. It does not kill the deal in San Antonio: moving to a larger down payment ($87,000) 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.
