The Miami Beach ratio math on this product

Gross nightly revenue in Miami Beach models to about $8,800/month across a full year. Lenders do not credit that dollar-for-dollar — a 28% haircut for vacancy, cleaning, platform fees and management leaves $6,336 of creditable income. Against a PITIA of $6,561, that is an estimated DSCR ratio of 0.97x. That lands just under 1.0. It does not kill the deal in Miami Beach: moving to a larger down payment ($268,500) 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. No 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.
