How It Works
Rate-and-term refinancing replaces your existing mortgage with a new loan at a better rate or with different terms — keeping your principal balance exactly the same. Unlike cash-out refinancing, rate-and-term refi focuses purely on improving your loan structure. No new debt, no appraisal concerns about additional borrowing. If the math works, the loan works.

That income becomes the DSCR numerator. If it covers 1.0× or better (ideally 1.2×+) of your monthly mortgage payment, you qualify on the property.
