SPONSOR | HOST FINANCIAL
The Window Is Wide Open.
The trend is confirmed. As of this morning, April 20, 2026, the 5-year Treasury yield has dropped to 3.85%, continuing a sharp downward slide from the 3.98% highs we saw just eight days ago.
While the "30-year fixed" headlines are scaring away the average buyer, the 5-year—the primary benchmark for DSCR lending—is trending decisively in your favor. Tariff-driven market uncertainty is pushing investors into the safety of bonds, creating the tactical opening you’ve been looking for.
Don’t Get "Haircut" by Local Lenders
Most banks still don't understand the Short-Term Rental asset class. They ignore your Airbnb history and plug in "long-term market rents," which slashes your loan amount and forces you to bring more cash to the table.
Host Financial is the outlier. They are built for the STR investor:
95% of their book is STR.
Underwrite on AirDNA data or your property's actual revenue.
No W2, no tax returns, no DTI.
Cash-out up to 80% LTV.
Execute with Confidence
The best deals go to the buyers who act like they have cash. Get your pre-approval letter today and be ready to move while this yield window is open.
Member Exclusive: As an STR Scout member, your $695 processing fee is waived.
