DSCR Cash-Out Refinance & BRRRR Seasoning Rules: 0-Day, 3-Month & 6-Month Tiers

Bottom Line Up Front (Quick Answer):To use 100% of a newly appraised After-Repair Value (ARV) on a DSCR cash-out refinance, wholesale shelves require either 6 months of title seasoning, or 3 months of seasoning with documented renovation receipts. Prior to 90 days, Delayed Financing allows up to 75% LTV capped at 100% of total acquisition + documented rehab cost.

Avoiding the Prepayment Penalty & Seasoning Mismatch

Always match your prepayment penalty structure (e.g., 3/2/1 step-down vs. 5/4/3/2/1) to your expected disposition or recapitalization horizon using our Prepayment Penalty Calculator (/calculators/prepayment-penalty).

Frequently Asked Questions

Does transferring title from my personal name to my LLC reset the 6-month seasoning clock?

No—as long as you retain 100% (or majority matching) ownership of the LLC, wholesale DSCR lenders trace continuity of ownership back to your original HUD-1/settlement acquisition date.
