The Basics

What Is a DSCR Loan?

DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio. It compares a property's qualifying rental income with its monthly debt obligations.

Unlike many conventional mortgages, DSCR programs may place less emphasis on W-2 income, pay stubs or personal tax returns. This can make them worth exploring for self-employed investors, portfolio owners and buyers whose financial picture does not fit traditional underwriting.

The exact calculation, required ratio and included expenses vary by lender. Taxes, insurance, association dues and other costs may be considered.

Who May Benefit From a DSCR Loan?

This financing option may be a practical fit when the investment property's numbers are stronger than the borrower's traditional income documentation.

Rental-Property Buyers

Investors purchasing eligible single-family homes, condos, townhomes or qualifying multifamily properties.

Self-Employed Investors

Borrowers whose tax returns may not fully reflect their available cash flow or investment capacity.

Portfolio Builders

Experienced investors looking for another way to finance and scale qualifying rental-property acquisitions.
