DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio. It’s a measure used by lenders to determine whether a rental property's income can cover its mortgage and related expenses. A DSCR of 1.0 or higher typically qualifies.
No. One of the main advantages of a DSCR loan is that you do not need to provide personal income documentation, such as tax returns, pay stubs, or W-2s. Approval is based solely on the property’s rental income.
Most lenders require a minimum DSCR of 1.0, meaning the property breaks even (rent = expenses). However, some lenders may accept a lower DSCR (as low as 0.75) with higher down payments or cash reserves.
DSCR loans can be used for most non-owner-occupied properties, including:
- Single-family homes
- Duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes
- Condos and townhomes
- Short-term rentals (Airbnb/VRBO)
- Multi-unit rental properties (2–4 units)
We accept either a signed lease agreement or a market rent estimate provided by the appraiser (Form 1007). For vacant properties, the appraiser’s estimate is commonly used.
Yes. Even if this is your first investment property, you can still qualify for a DSCR loan as long as the property meets the rental income and credit score requirements.
