Typically there is a 5-4-3-2-1 step down prepayment penalty. In this scenario, the borrower is responsible for paying a penalty of 5% of the outstanding balance if prepaying in the first year, 4% in the second year, 3% in the third year, 2% in the fourth year and 1% in the fifth year.  The borrower will have the option to decrease the prepayment penalty with an increase in the interest rate.

Debt service coverage is calculated as the lesser of market rent and rent in place divided by property taxes, insurance, debt service, and HOA/COA (if applicable).
