DSCR Investor Loans

Qualify based on rental income, not personal income

What is a DSCR Loan?

A Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan is an investment property loan that uses the property's rental income to qualify, rather than your personal income. This makes it ideal for real estate investors, self-employed borrowers, and those looking to scale their investment portfolio.

How DSCR Works

The DSCR is calculated by dividing the property's rental income by the mortgage payment (PITIA - Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance, and Association dues).

DSCR = Rental Income รท Mortgage Payment

A DSCR of 1.0 means the rental income covers the mortgage. Most lenders require 1.0 - 1.25+ DSCR.
