DSCR: Debt Service Coverage Ratio

DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) is the essential non-QM financial metric that real estate investors and commercial lenders use to quickly assess the cash flow sufficiency of a profitable investment property.

Qualify Based on the Property, Not Your W-2

DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans are designed for real estate investors who want to scale their rental portfolios without the hassle of traditional income documentation. We look at one thing: does the property’s rental income cover the mortgage payment?

This makes DSCR loans perfect for self-employed investors, business owners with complex tax returns, or anyone who wants to keep their personal finances separate from their investment properties. Close in an LLC, build your portfolio, and let the property pay for itself.

Whether you’re acquiring a new rental, refinancing out of a short-term loan, or doing a cash-out to fund your next deal, our DSCR program offers the flexibility and speed you need to keep growing.

How DSCR Works

DSCR measures a property’s ability to cover its debt obligations. It’s a simple ratio that compares the property’s gross rental income to its total monthly mortgage payment (PITIA).

The Formula

DSCR = Monthly Rent ÷ PITIA

1.25

Strong cash flow. Rent exceeds mortgage by 25%. Best rates and terms available.

1.00

Break-even. Rent exactly covers mortgage payment. Most programs qualify.

0.75

Below break-even. Available with higher down payment. Good for appreciation plays.

Example DSCR Calculation

Monthly Rent $2,400
Principal & Interest $1,450
Property Taxes $280
Insurance $120
HOA (if applicable) $50
Total PITIA $1,900

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our DSCR loan program.
What credit score do I need for a DSCR loan?

Our minimum credit score for DSCR loans is 680. Higher credit scores (700+) qualify for better rates and higher LTV options. We pull soft credit for all guarantors on the loan, and we use the middle score of the primary borrower for pricing.  

For rate-and-term refinances, there’s no seasoning requirement—you can refinance immediately. For cash-out refinances, we typically require 6 months of ownership. However, we can use appraised value from day one if you have a lease in place.

For vacant properties on a purchase, we use the market rent from the appraisal. If you have a signed lease, we’ll use the actual lease rent. For occupied properties with below-market rents, we use the current rents.

Yes! We finance short-term rentals, including Airbnb properties. We typically use 12 months of income history from the booking platform or a third-party income projection from services like AirDNA. 

We offer several prepayment structures: 5-4-3-2-1 (5% in year 1, declining each year), 4-3-2-1, all the way down to no prepay options. Choosing a longer prepay term typically gets you a better interest rate. 

Yes, we offer blanket DSCR loans for portfolios of 2-20 properties. This simplifies your portfolio management with one payment and one loan.
