Planning an Exit Around Prepay Terms?
Yes — many DSCR loans include prepayment penalties. Investors accept PPP in exchange for better rates — and plan exits and refinances around the window.
Prepayment penalties (PPP) compensate investors when loans pay off early — before they earn expected yield. On DSCR, accepting a PPP often improves your rate, which is why most investors include them by default.
Common structures run 3–5 years with declining percentages — such as 5-4-3-2-1 or 3-2-1. Soft vs. hard prepay rules determine whether selling without penalty is allowed while refinancing still triggers a fee.
PPP terms are investor-specific — confirm exact language before you lock.
Know the schedule before you plan a sale or refinance.
Match PPP length to how long you realistically hold the asset.
An Indiana investor in year two of a 5-4-3-2-1 PPP faces a 4% penalty on the remaining balance to refinance early. If the new rate saves $200/month, we calculate how many months of savings it takes to break even against the penalty — and whether waiting one more year is smarter.
Never assume PPP language is identical across investors. We confirm soft vs. hard and sale exceptions before you lock.
