Get a Higher Appraisal on Your Rental — and a Bigger DSCR Loan
On a DSCR loan the appraisal does two jobs: it sets your value (your cash-out) and it sets the market rent the lender uses to qualify you. This free guide shows you how to influence both — before the appraiser ever walks the property.
- The appraiser packet that stops value from being missed
- How the Form 1007 rent schedule makes or breaks your DSCR
- The 60-minute walkthrough-prep checklist

What's inside the guide
The appraiser packet
Exactly what to hand the appraiser — recent upgrades, permits, and supporting comps — so nothing that adds value gets overlooked.
Comps you can (and cannot) suggest
How to share comparable sales with the appraiser while staying inside USPAP rules — no pressure, no appearance of influence.
The Form 1007 rent schedule
Why the appraiser’s market-rent opinion drives your DSCR ratio — and how to support a realistic, fully-documented rent number.
Cost-vs-value upgrades
The inexpensive fixes that actually move an appraisal, and the expensive ones that rarely return what you put in.
Walkthrough prep checklist
A 60-minute, room-by-room checklist to run before the appraiser arrives so the property shows at its true value.
If the value comes in low
How the Reconsideration of Value (ROV) process works, when it is worth filing, and what evidence actually gets a number changed.
Who this guide is for
- Investors buying a rental where the DSCR ratio is borderline
- Owners refinancing or cashing out who want the highest defensible value
- Self-managing investors who want to control every variable they can
