Loan Scenario:

American Heritage Lending funded a $368,000 DSCR rate-and-term refinance on a single-family detached home in Richardson, Texas, stabilizing the debt on a buy-and-hold rental in the northern Dallas suburbs. The home appraised at $502,000, so the loan closed at 73.31% loan-to-value on a 40-year term with an interest-only payment. Qualification came from the property’s rental income rather than the borrower’s personal earnings, so no tax returns or work papers were needed. The rent covers the note at a 1.001 DSCR — the income lines up with the payment, and the interest-only structure is what keeps that coverage in balance.

That structure fits a newer investor holding a higher-value home. The 40-year interest-only term drives the monthly payment down, which is what lets a property at this price point qualify on its own rent while the borrower builds toward equity over time. On a $502,000 home, that reduced payment is often the difference between a deal that pencils and one that does not, and it keeps the borrower’s cash reserves intact for maintenance and future acquisitions.

Richardson sits just north of Dallas and is best known for the Telecom Corridor, a dense concentration of technology and communications employers along U.S. 75. State Farm’s regional hub at the CityLine campus, along with Texas Instruments, Fossil, and a deep roster of tech and telecom firms, anchors a large professional workforce. The University of Texas at Dallas adds tens of thousands of students and staff who feed constant rental demand. Richardson also offers a more attainable entry point than Plano and Frisco to the north, drawing renters who want access to the corridor’s jobs and top-rated schools. That mix keeps well-located single-family rentals leasing quickly.

Overall, this deal shows how American Heritage Lending backs investors with practical DSCR financing. Income-qualified underwriting, a low interest-only payment, and a long fixed term give the borrower a workable way to hold a higher-value rental in a job-rich suburb.
