Short-Term Rental investing in West Palm Beach

Short-term rental financing in West Palm Beach 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 West Palm Beach median of $585,000, a short-term rental prices near $585,000. Minimum down is 25% ($146,250), leaving a loan of $438,750. Estimated all-in PITIA runs about $4,289 per month.

The West Palm Beach ratio math on this product

Gross nightly revenue in West Palm Beach models to about $3,200/month across a full year. Lenders do not credit that dollar-for-dollar — a 28% haircut for vacancy, cleaning, platform fees and management leaves $2,304 of creditable income. Against a PITIA of $4,289, that is an estimated DSCR ratio of 0.54x. 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. 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.
