Frequently Asked Questions

What makes West Virginia attractive for DSCR cash flow investing?
West Virginia's extremely affordable property prices mean investors can achieve high DSCR ratios with modest rental income. A property purchased for $80,000-$120,000 with $800-$1,000/month rent can produce DSCR ratios well above 1.50. The low tax and insurance burden further strengthens the cash flow profile.
Is Morgantown a good DSCR investment market?
Morgantown is West Virginia's strongest rental market, driven by WVU's 26,000+ student enrollment and the growing WVU Medicine healthcare system. Student housing demand keeps vacancy rates low, and the university provides a recession-resistant employment anchor. Properties near campus command reliable rents year over year.

Most national DSCR lenders are licensed in West Virginia, giving investors access to 12+ competitive options despite the small market size.
