DSCR loans in Maine, explained
A DSCR loan in Maine is an investment-property mortgage that qualifies on the rent your property earns rather than your personal income, using rent divided by the payment (PITIA). Maine investors use these loans for Portland and coastal short-term rentals, Lewiston-Auburn and Bangor cash-flow multi-family, and Biddeford-Saco beach markets – with up to 85% LTV, DSCR from 0.75x, credit from 620, and rates from 5.75%, and closings in as fast as 14 days.
Maine offers two clear plays: high-revenue short-term rentals in Portland and the beach towns, and low-vacancy long-term cash flow in the Androscoggin twin cities (Lewiston-Auburn) and Bangor. Tight housing supply keeps occupancy strong statewide, and mill-district revitalization in Biddeford and Lewiston adds appreciation on top of yield.

Maine DSCR loan FAQ
Do I need to live in Maine to get a DSCR loan?
No. DSCR loans are investment-only and qualify on the property’s rent, so out-of-state investors buying Maine rentals close in an LLC.
Which Maine city has the best cash flow?
Lewiston, Auburn, and Bangor lead on yield; Portland and the beach towns lean on short-term-rental revenue and appreciation.
Can I use short-term-rental income in Maine?
Yes, where permitted – Portland and beach towns have registration rules. We underwrite STR income from market data or history.
How fast can a Maine DSCR loan close?
As fast as 14 days after appraisal and title.
