What Is a DSCR Loan?

DSCR stands for debt service coverage ratio. It compares a property's rental income to its debt obligations, such as principal, interest, taxes, and insurance. If the property generates enough income to cover the payment, it may qualify, even if your personal tax returns do not tell the whole story. DSCR loans fall under the non-QM category and are built for investment property.

Why Investors Choose DSCR Financing

Less Focus on Personal Income

Traditional underwriting can limit investors who own multiple properties or have complex tax returns. DSCR loans shift attention to the property itself.

Faster Scaling

Because qualification centers on the investment, you may be able to build your portfolio more efficiently, one property at a time.

Flexible Property Strategies

DSCR financing can support long-term rentals and other income-producing residential properties. Eligibility depends on the program, so we confirm the details before you make an offer.

How the Debt Service Coverage Ratio Is Calculated

In simple terms, lenders divide the property's expected monthly rental income by its monthly debt payment. A ratio of 1.0 means the rent roughly equals the payment, and a higher ratio generally signals stronger cash flow. Different programs have different minimums, so we review your numbers early. We can help you estimate rent, compare properties, and decide which deals are worth pursuing.

Purchase or Refinance an Investment Property

DSCR loans can be used to buy a new rental or to refinance an existing one, including cash-out options in some cases. Ask us how a refinance could help you pull equity from one property to fund the next.
