What is a DSCR Loan? 

A Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan is a specialized real estate investment mortgage designed for borrowers looking to qualify based on a property's income potential—not their personal income. Instead of analyzing employment history or personal income, the DSCR loan evaluates whether the property's rental income covers the monthly loan payments. 

Who is a DSCR Loan For?

This program is ideal for real estate investors who want to purchase or refinance rental properties using the cash flow the property generates.

  • Real estate investors financing income-producing properties
  • Buy-and-hold investors focused on long-term rental portfolios
  • Landlords expanding their real estate assets
  • Clients with non-traditional income sources who may not qualify for conventional loans

  • Multiple transaction types: Purchase, Rate/Term Refinance, Cash-Out, and Refinance
