How DSCR works

One ratio decides the loan.

The debt service coverage ratio compares what the property earns to what it costs to own each month. If the rent covers the payment, the property qualifies on its own.

If your tax returns show heavy write-offs, conventional underwriting penalizes you for investing the smart way.

No cap on financed properties. Keep scaling past the 10-loan conventional limit.

Self-employed

Business owners with complex returns qualify on the property's income alone.

Short-term rental hosts

Airbnb and VRBO income counted from booking history or a market projection.

BRRRR investors

Refinance out of hard money into long-term fixed debt once the rehab is done.

Common questions

What is a DSCR loan?

A DSCR loan is a mortgage for investment property that qualifies you on the property's rental income instead of your personal income. The lender divides monthly rent by the monthly payment (principal, interest, taxes, insurance and HOA) to get the ratio.

What DSCR do I need to qualify?

Most lenders look for 1.00 or higher, meaning the rent covers the full payment. A ratio of 1.25 or more usually gets the best pricing and highest LTV. Some programs allow ratios below 1.00 with a larger down payment.

How is the rent figured?

For a leased property, lenders use the current lease or the appraiser's market rent (Form 1007), often whichever is lower. Short-term rentals can use 12 months of booking history or a market projection.

Do I need rental experience?

No. Many DSCR programs accept first-time investors, sometimes with slightly lower max LTV or more reserves. Experienced investors often get better terms.

Can I close in my LLC?

Yes. DSCR loans can close in an LLC or corporation. You'll usually sign a personal guarantee and provide the operating agreement and EIN.

Are DSCR rates higher than conventional?

Usually somewhat higher, since there's no income verification. Many investors accept that in exchange for no tax returns, no debt-to-income limit, no cap on financed properties and LLC vesting.

Does getting a quote affect my credit?

No. The quote form doesn't pull credit. Your lender will ask permission before running credit when you decide to apply.

Can I use a DSCR loan for my own home?

No. DSCR loans are business-purpose loans for investment properties only. A home you live in needs a residential loan program.
