MARKET OVERVIEW

New Hampshire DSCR Loan Market

New Hampshire attracts DSCR investors drawn by its no-income-tax status and proximity to Boston. Manchester and Nashua capture spillover rental demand from Massachusetts commuters seeking lower living costs. However, New Hampshire's high property taxes (1.86%) are the primary challenge for DSCR ratios. The state compensates with no income tax and no sales tax, which attracts residents and supports strong rental demand. Multifamily properties are the best strategy to achieve workable DSCR ratios given the tax burden. The Lakes Region and White Mountains offer seasonal STR opportunities.
