⚙️ What Are DSCR Loans?

If you're an investor looking to finance a rental property, a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan might be your best-kept secret.

Instead of using your tax returns, pay stubs, or mountains of paperwork, a DSCR loan qualifies you based on the property's income potential — not your personal income.

✅ In simple terms: If the rent from your property can cover the mortgage payment, you're halfway there.

We determine the property's income potential by ordering a standard residential appraisal, with a Market Rental Analysis Report which provides real market rent data for similar homes in the surrounding marketplace.

📚 Meet Mark

Mark owns two rentals and just found a great duplex to buy.

His accountant advised him to minimize taxable income this year — making traditional mortgage qualification tricky.

With a DSCR loan, Mark qualified based on the property’s rental potential alone — no tax returns or W2s required.

Today, Mark is earning steady cash flow on his new investment property — proof that smart financing options make smart investing possible.

📣 DSCR Loan FAQs: Here's What Most People Ask Us:

  • What is a DSCR loan and how does it work?

    Collapse
    Expand

    A DSCR loan is used by real estate investors. Instead of looking at your job income, lenders check if the money a property earns is enough to cover the loan payments. If the rent can pay the loan, you're more likely to qualify.

  • Can I close in the name of my LLC with a DSCR loan?

    Collapse
    Expand

    Yes. You may close in the name of your LLC, Corporation, LLP, LLLP, or other entity.  This is a popular option for tax savings purposes, as well as limiting personal liability exposure.

  • How do you calculate the Debt-Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)?

    Collapse
    Expand

    You divide the property's monthly income by the monthly loan payments. For example, if a property makes $3,000/mo and the loan payments are $2,400/mo, the DSCR is 1.25.

  • What is the lowest credit score for a DSCR Loan?

    Collapse
    Expand

    We lend down to a 550 score on a DSCR loan.  Learn more about DSCR loans for lower credit scores  »

  • Can DSCR loans be refinanced?

    Collapse
    Expand

    Yes. You can replace a DSCR loan with a new one, often to get a better rate or to pull out cash. Just check if your current loan has a penalty for paying it off early.  More about DSCR refinancing  »

  • Can DSCR loans be used for commercial properties?

    Collapse
    Expand

    Yes. These loans can be used to buy or refinance buildings like apartment complexes, offices, or stores. The property just needs to earn enough income to cover the loan.  Learn more about using DSCR to finance Commercial Properties  »

  • ✅ HOW TO QUALIFY FOR A DSCR LOAN

    Collapse
    Expand

     

    To qualify for a DSCR Loan, applicants must have the following:

    • DOWN PAYMENT: 20% for single-unit homes. For 2-4 unit multi-family homes, the minimum down payment is 25%.
    • Credit Score Criteria: A minimum FICO score of 550. Scores below 700 may influence loan-to-value ratios and down payment requirements.
    • Primary Home and/or Recent Landlord Experience: A verifiable 12-month payment history for primary residence is essential. Renters may qualify with documented payment history from institutional landlords.  NOTE: Non-institutional landlords or applicants "living with family" (with or without housing expenses) are ineligible.
    • Credit Tradelines: At least three active credit tradelines in the past 12 months, or two active tradelines in the past 24 months.
    • DSCR Ratio Requirements: The property should have a minimum DSCR of 0.75 for purchase transactions and 1.00 for refinance transactions.

    📌 * If the property being financed does not have a sufficient DSCR ratio, try our NO RATIO DSCR PROGRAM »

Real Investor Success

👔 CLOSE IN THE NAME OF YOUR BUSINESS ENTITY

We allow you to close in the name of your business entity, such as an LLC, LLP, Corporation, S-Corporation, or LLLP.  This approach can offer significant liability protection and tax advantages for real estate investors.  This is full-recourse lending, meaning that the applicant(s) will personally guarantee the new loan, however it will be recorded on title as the name of your entity. On some of our DSCR programs, we go a step further and do not report the new loan on the applicant's personal credit report.

Your loan originator will review the specific business entity documentation needed at the time of application.

IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON CLOSING IN THE NAME OF YOUR ENTITY, HERE ARE SOME THINGS TO KNOW:

 

  • All Applicants /Guarantors Must Be Entity Members.

  • Single Guarantor Option: A business entity with multiple members can have a single guarantor, provided they are a managing member or a majority owner.

  • Multiple Entity Members Option: If your business entity has multiple members, and you are planning to use only one person to guarantee the loan, be sure to discuss this with your loan originator upfront.

  • Multiple Business Entities: We allow transactions to close in the name of up to two business entities, as long as there is one guarantor who owns 100% of both entities.

💸 GET CASH OUT WITH A DSCR LOAN

DSCR Loans can be a great way to leverage a property for other investments and business endeavors.  You can use the cash to:

 

  • Invest in new properties or other investment opportunities

  • Improve your properties/ improving your cashflow potential

 

FOR CASH OUT, THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA APPLIES FOR SINGLE-UNIT PROPERTIES*:

 

  • Loan Amount Maximum: $4MM
  • Cash in Hand Maximum: $1
  • Minimum DSCR Ratio for Cash Out: 1.00 or higher
    • Maximum LTV:  75% (requires FICO 650 or higher - loan sizes up to $3.5M)
    • Maximum LTV:  70% (requires FICO 625 or higher - loan sizes up to $2M)
    • Maximum LTV:  65% (requires FICO 625 or higher)
    • Maximum LTV: 60% (requires FICO 600 or higher)
    • Maximum LTV: 50% (requires FICO 550 or higher)
  • Occupancy: For 1-4 unit residential properties, all units must be tenant-occupied. Vacant homes are not eligible.

* DSCR Cash-Out Transactions can have multiple overlapping criteria overlays (especially with credit scores lower than 660).

We strongly recommend CALLING US to discuss your scenario with an experienced DSCR Loan Originator.  

THE "NO RATIO" DSCR LOAN

Our "No RATIO PRO" DSCR Program for investment properties where the existing rental income is not calculated towards the standard debt service requirements for a standard DSCR loan.

 

Our No RATIO PRO DSCR Program is especially helpful for seasoned investors looking to acquire properties quickly, and can help the investor acquire properties that may not cash-flow at the time of purchase.

 

Our No RATIO PRO DSCR Program allows the applicant to bypass the need for income or cash flow verification entirely.  Since there is no DSCR calculation, there is no risk to the applicant that the market rent from the appraisal report will fail to support the new payment.  It short, it removes the biggest risk in any DSCR loan.

 

Our No RATIO PRO DSCR Program can be helpful in the following scenarios:

 

  • Investors planning to list the property as a short-term rental (e.g., Airbnb or VRBO) but the property does not yet have a lease or historical income data for the property.
  • The property's projected rental income would cover the mortgage payments, but traditional lenders require established rental history or proof of cash flow.
  • Properties without historical rental income or a tenant lease in place, the investor cannot meet these criteria despite the property's potential

  • Max LTV - 75% LTV

  • Terms:  30 Year Fixed-Rate Term

DEALING WITH SURPRISES IN THE LOAN PROCESS

During the DSCR loan process, there can sometimes be unexpected challenges that arise.  the majority of these challenges tend to involve the amount of rental income that comes back in the Market Rental Analysis Report.

Sometimes these values come in lower than investors project, resulting in a DSCR ratio being lower than the minimum needed to qualify for the new loan.  

If this happens, you may be able to switch to our No RATIO PRO Program, which does not use the DSCR ratio to qualify.  

Or, you can try these tips for raising your DSCR Ratio »

TIPS FOR RAISING YOUR DSCR RATIO

If your DSCR is too low to qualify for a DSCR Loan, here are a few tips for raising your DSCR Ratio. If this doesn't work, ask your loan originator about our No Ratio DSCR option.

  • Increase your down payment

  • Reduce the coverage of your insurance policy, which may reduce your premium.

  • Buy additional discount points to decrease the interest rate on your loan.

  • Ask the seller for a closing cost credit.  Our DSCR programs allow up to 4% seller credits

  • Renegotiate the contract price of the home to meet the debt service requirements.
