Are There Any Hidden Fees?

At LoanGuys.com, transparency is a core part of how we do business.

We believe real estate investors deserve to know exactly what they’re paying for — no surprises, no hidden costs, and no fine print.

💰 Common Fees in DSCR Loans

Like any mortgage, DSCR loans include standard costs that cover origination, processing, and third-party services.

Here’s a breakdown of what you can typically expect:

Fee Type

Description

Typical Range

Origination Fee

Charged by the lender or broker for setting up your loan

0.5% – 2.5% of loan amount

Appraisal Fee

Professional valuation of the property

$500 – $1,000

Processing / Underwriting

Covers documentation and credit review

$995 – $1,500

Title & Escrow Fees

Legal title transfer and settlement

Prepaid Interest

Recording & Notary Fees

County-level recording charges

$100 – $300

All of these fees are fully disclosed upfront in your official Loan Estimate (LE) and Closing Disclosure (CD) before you sign.

⚙️ What’s Not Hidden — But Often Overlooked

Some costs aren’t “hidden,” but they can catch new investors off guard if not explained clearly:

  • Discount Points: Optional fee paid upfront to lower your interest rate.

  • Prepayment Penalties: Some DSCR loans include a 1–5 year penalty if paid off early.

  • Third-Party Closing Costs: Title, escrow, and recording vary depending on location.

Your loan advisor will walk through each of these line by line so you understand your total cost.

💡 Fee Transparency at LoanGuys.com

We make fee transparency a priority. You’ll receive:

  • A Loan Estimate (LE) within 3 days of application

  • A Closing Disclosure (CD) before signing final documents

  • A clear explanation of every line item — in plain English

If another lender’s quote looks “too good to be true,” ask for a full Loan Estimate. Hidden fees often appear only at closing.
