Short-Term Rental investing in South Kingstown

Short-term rental financing in South Kingstown 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 South Kingstown median of $600,000, a short-term rental prices near $600,000. Minimum down is 25% ($150,000), leaving a loan of $450,000. Estimated all-in PITIA runs about $4,079 per month.

The South Kingstown ratio math on this product

Gross nightly revenue in South Kingstown models to about $7,750/month across a full year. Lenders do not credit that dollar-for-dollar — a 28% haircut for vacancy, cleaning, platform fees and management leaves $5,580 of creditable income. Against a PITIA of $4,079, that is an estimated DSCR ratio of 1.37x. That clears the 1.0 minimum with real cushion and lands in the best DSCR pricing tier most shelves publish — typically worth 0.25%–0.50% off the rate versus a break-even file.

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 rentals are active in this market; licensing and zoning are set locally and we verify the specific address before quoting. 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 South Kingstown median for this product: an estimated cap rate of 6.14%, and monthly cash flow of $1,501 positive at 25% down. A file that cash-flows at the minimum down payment is the exception in Rhode Island right now, and it gives you room to absorb an insurance renewal without going to the reserve account.
