Frequently Asked Questions

A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan is a mortgage designed for real estate investors. Instead of focusing primarily on your personal income, the lender evaluates whether the property's rental income is sufficient to cover the monthly mortgage payments.

The DSCR is calculated by dividing the property's qualifying rental income by its total monthly debt obligations. A higher ratio indicates that the property generates enough income to comfortably support the loan.

Many DSCR loan programs reduce the reliance on traditional income documentation, such as tax returns and W-2s. Qualification is generally based on the property's cash flow and the lender's underwriting requirements.

Eligible properties may include single-family rentals, condominiums, townhomes, multi-unit residential properties, mixed-use properties, short-term rentals, and other qualifying investment properties, depending on lender guidelines.
