Local notes
Three North Dakota things to put in your numbers
Property management
Most Minnesota investors buying in North Dakota use local management. Budget it, because lenders don’t — the DSCR uses gross rent, but your real cash flow should subtract management.
Entity registration
A Minnesota LLC buying in North Dakota typically registers as a foreign LLC with the North Dakota Secretary of State. Ask your attorney and tell Tiaira which entity will take title.
Same program, every state
How a North Dakota DSCR loan qualifies
The ratio is the ratio: gross monthly rent ÷ PITIA. North Dakota doesn’t change the program — it changes the inputs. Non-homestead property taxes, landlord insurance pricing and local rents are what move your number. Tiaira pulls the real figures for the specific address before she tells you a ratio.
- No tax returns, W-2s or pay stubs
- Down payment 20–25% typical
- Vesting: Individual or LLC
- 1–4 units, condos, townhomes, PUDs
Fargo triplex, $285k, rents $2,850 total. does that even need a calculator?
That ratio’s going to look great on paper. Still send it — taxes and insurance decide the real number, and I want to price it before you tell anyone else.
