How a DSCR Cash‑Out Refinance Works | Real Deal Breakdown

$160,000 Appraisal, $1,612 Rent, 1.52 DSCR — A Clean Cash‑Out Refinance Deal Breakdown

What happens when a rental property appraises at $160,000, produces $1,612 in monthly rent, and still clears a 1.52 DSCR at 65% loan‑to‑value?
You get a cash‑out refinance that works on paper, in underwriting, and through market cycles.

In this episode of RCN Capital’s Deal Digest, we break down a Rochester, New York cash‑out refinance that succeeds without aggressive assumptions, inflated rents, or appreciation speculation. This is a fundamentals‑driven rental loan built on verified value, realistic income, strong borrower liquidity, and conservative leverage.

If you’re a real estate investor focused on durable cash flow, or a broker structuring DSCR refinance loans, this episode shows exactly what a defensible deal looks like.
