What to check on a Paterson deal
- Flood zones. The Passaic River runs through the city. Check the FEMA map and get a flood quote early.
- Rent control. Paterson has a local rent control ordinance. Confirm whether your building is covered.
- Lead-safe inspection. Most of the housing stock predates 1978, so New Jersey's lead-safe rules often apply.
- Certificate of occupancy. Plan for the city's inspection when units turn over.
Paterson DSCR questions
Can I refinance a renovated Paterson rental into a DSCR loan?
Yes, that's a common path: buy and renovate with a short-term loan, rent the units, then refinance into a long-term DSCR loan based on the new rents and appraised value. Seasoning and cash-out limits depend on the program.
Do I need flood insurance for a Paterson rental?
If the property is in a FEMA special flood hazard area, the lender will require flood insurance. Parts of Paterson along the Passaic River are in flood zones, so check the flood map before you make an offer, because the premium goes into your DSCR payment.
