DSCR Loans in Vermont
Vermont's ski resort STR market and Burlington's tight rental supply create niche DSCR opportunities in New England's most scenic state.
MARKET OVERVIEW
Vermont DSCR Loan Market
Vermont is a niche DSCR market best suited for STR investors. Long-term rental DSCR ratios are challenging due to high prices, elevated property taxes (1.83%), and tenant-friendly regulations. However, Vermont's ski resorts (Stowe, Killington, Sugarbush, Mad River Glen) generate premium vacation rental income. Burlington has the tightest housing market in the state with strong university-driven demand. Vermont recently increased STR regulations, so investors should verify current rules. The No-Ratio DSCR and STR DSCR programs are most relevant for Vermont investors.
