Michigan DSCR program
Cash-out DSCR refinance on Michigan rentals
Quick answer
A cash-out DSCR refinance replaces the existing mortgage on a Michigan rental with a larger loan and returns the difference to you for business purposes. The new loan qualifies on the property’s rent compared with the new full payment. Lenders set seasoning and leverage rules, and proceeds must go to business use.
Why Michigan investors use cash-out DSCR
Many Michigan investors bought rentals at modest prices, renovated them and now hold more equity than debt. A cash-out DSCR refinance lets them reuse that equity to buy the next property, fund improvements or pay down higher-cost short-term debt, without relying on personal income documentation.

Seasoning and value
Lenders define how long you must own the property before they will use the new appraised value rather than your purchase price plus documented improvements. Rules differ by program, which is a key reason to shop multiple wholesale lenders. Keep receipts, permits and before-and-after photos for any renovation.
Recheck the ratio at the larger loan size
A bigger loan means a bigger payment. The ratio that worked at purchase may tighten after cash-out. If you bought the property more than a year ago, your taxes may already be uncapped; if not, budget for the reset. Test the new loan amount in the calculator.
