Questions

DSCR Loans FAQs

What is a DSCR loan?

A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan qualifies you based on the property’s rental income relative to its monthly payment — not your personal income. If the rent covers the mortgage payment, the deal can qualify, with no tax returns or employment verification.

What DSCR ratio do I need to qualify?

Most programs want a DSCR of 1.0 or higher, meaning rent equals or exceeds the full monthly payment. Some lenders allow ratios below 1.0 with a larger down payment or stronger credit. We’ll run the numbers on your specific property.

How much down payment does a DSCR loan require?

Typically 20% to 25% down for purchases. Rates and terms improve with lower loan-to-value, higher credit scores, and stronger DSCR ratios. Cash-out refinances on existing rentals are also available.

Can I use a DSCR loan for short-term rentals like Airbnb?

Yes — many DSCR programs accept short-term rental income documented through platforms like Airbnb and VRBO, or use market rent from the appraisal. This makes DSCR a favorite tool for vacation rental investors.

Can I close a DSCR loan in an LLC?

Yes. Unlike conventional loans, most DSCR programs allow you to vest title in an LLC, which many investors prefer for liability protection and portfolio management.
