Short-term / Vacation Rental Loans

Financing for AirBnBs and other Short-term rentals

With the rapid growth of AirBnB, VRBO, and other short-term rental (STR) platforms, vacation rentals can be extremely lucrative. Green Block’s Vacation Rental Loans help investors purchase, refinance, or cash-out on their short-term rentals. These 30-year DSCR rental loans are based on the income produced by your the property* rather than your personal Debt-to-Income, and provide the funds you need to capitalize on this new rental opportunity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are your Vacation Rental Loan fees?2022-08-13T12:17:33-04:00

We believe in transparency, not hidden fees. Please refer to our Vacation Rental Program overview for a list of fees.

How are your STR loans different from your long-term rental loans?2022-07-03T16:44:34-04:00

The primary difference is the way in which the DSCR is calculated. For STRs with at least 12 months of rental income history, the DSCR is calculated using actual rental income. For vacation rentals without at least 12 months of STR rental income history or properties used as long-term rentals, the long-term market rent is used in the calculation. Maximum LTV/LTCs are slightly lower for STRs due to the potential volatility of income for vacation rentals.

Do you use the actual STR income to qualify the property?2022-05-22T18:20:14-04:00

If the property has at least 12 months of STR rental income history, we can use the actual income in the DSCR calculation in order to qualify it for the loan. If it has less than 12 months of STR rental income history, we will use the market rent for a typical long-term rental in the DSCR calculation.

What are vacation rental loans?2022-05-22T18:19:21-04:00

Green Block’s vacation rental loans are 30-year loans for properties used for short-term rentals (STRs) or vacation rentals. These loans can be used to purchase, refinance, or cash-out properties to be used with such services as AirbnB, VRBO, and others.

Who can borrow?2022-05-22T18:24:24-04:00

Our loans are for real estate investors looking to purchase, rehab, refinance, cash-out, or build investment properties. We lend only to legal business entities such as LLCs, LPs, or Corporations domiciled in the United States. We do not lend to individuals.

Do you lend on STRs where rooms are rented out separately?2022-07-03T16:49:09-04:00

No.

My vacation rental is located in a rural area. Can you lend on it?2022-07-03T16:50:11-04:00

Green Block is unable to lend on any property designated as rural on the appraisal. Designation is up to the discretion of the appraiser. A good rule of thumb is that if a property is listed as being in a rural or underserved area per the Consumer Finance tool located at www.consumerfinance.gov/rural-or-underserved-tool/#rural-or-underserved, Green Block will be unable to lend on it.
