DSCR Loans in Maryland
Maryland's proximity to D.C., strong government-driven economy, and Baltimore's affordable multifamily market create diverse DSCR investment options.
MARKET OVERVIEW
Maryland DSCR Loan Market
Maryland straddles two distinct markets: the D.C. suburbs with high rents and strong government/contractor employment, and Baltimore with affordable multifamily properties and cash-flow potential. The D.C.-adjacent suburbs (Silver Spring, Columbia, Bethesda) command premium rents from the massive federal workforce. Baltimore offers some of the most affordable multifamily properties on the East Coast, though neighborhood selection is critical. Maryland's property taxes are moderate at 1.05%. The state's economy is anchored by federal government, defense, healthcare (Johns Hopkins), and biotech, providing diverse and stable employment.
