Short-Term Rental investing in Greenwich

Short-term rental financing in Greenwich 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 Greenwich median of $1,750,000, a short-term rental prices near $1,750,000. Minimum down is 25% ($437,500), leaving a loan of $1,312,500. Estimated all-in PITIA runs about $12,510 per month.

The Greenwich ratio math on this product

Gross nightly revenue in Greenwich models to about $9,800/month across a full year. Lenders do not credit that dollar-for-dollar — a 28% haircut for vacancy, cleaning, platform fees and management leaves $7,056 of creditable income. Against a PITIA of $12,510, that is an estimated DSCR ratio of 0.56x. 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 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.

Returns and structure

Return metrics at the Greenwich median for this product: an estimated cap rate of 2.66%, and monthly cash flow of $5,454 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 $1,312,500 loan amount exceeds the $806,500 conforming limit for Fairfield County, so agency pricing is off the table and this is a jumbo DSCR file.
