DSCR Loans
Designed specifically for real estate investors, DSCR loans allow borrowers to qualify based primarily on the income-generating potential of the property rather than personal income or tax returns.
The mechanism is the point. Because qualification rests on the property rather than on you, a DSCR file does not ask for tax returns, W-2s or employment verification — which is why investors whose returns show heavy depreciation, or who have already used up their conventional slots, end up here.
The ratio itself is simple: the property’s rent divided by its monthly obligation. Above 1.00 the property covers itself. Investors set their own thresholds, and some will consider properties below 1.00 where other strengths compensate. Whether an appraiser’s market rent or an existing lease carries the calculation varies by investor, and the two figures can differ meaningfully.
Agency programs cap how many financed properties you may hold. DSCR generally does not, which is what makes it the structure portfolios move to. Title in an LLC is frequently permitted, though requirements differ — raise it early, because it narrows which investors fit.
Instead of focusing on employment history, W-2s, or traditional income calculations, lenders evaluate whether the property's projected rental income is sufficient to cover its mortgage payment and related debt obligations. This streamlined approach can make it easier for investors to acquire, refinance, and expand their rental property portfolios.
DSCR loans are an excellent financing solution for investors seeking to leverage rental income, preserve personal borrowing capacity, and grow their real estate holdings with greater flexibility.

What DSCR ratio do lenders look for?
A DSCR of 1.25 is a common benchmark — meaning the property earns 25% more than its monthly obligations. Options exist at lower ratios, including some below 1.0, with adjusted structures. We will calculate yours in minutes.
How is DSCR calculated?
Monthly rental income divided by the property’s full monthly payment (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and any association dues). Example: $2,500 rent against a $2,000 payment is a DSCR of 1.25.
Can I close a DSCR loan in an LLC?
Yes — and most investors do. Vesting in an LLC keeps the property aligned with how you run the rest of your portfolio. That flexibility is rare in conventional lending and standard in DSCR.
Do DSCR loans work for short-term rentals?
Many programs now underwrite short-term rental income using market rent analysis or documented booking history. If you are running Airbnb or VRBO properties, bring the numbers — there are real options.
