Qualify on the property's income — not yours.
A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan looks at what the property earns, not your personal income or employment history. It's built for landlords and investors who want financing that scales with their portfolio, not their pay stubs.
Traditional mortgages qualify you based on personal income, tax returns, and employment history. That works fine for a primary residence — it breaks down fast for investors who own multiple properties, are self-employed, or whose tax returns don't reflect their real cash flow.
DSCR loans solve this by qualifying the property itself. The lender looks at the ratio between the property's rental income and its debt obligations (mortgage payment, taxes, insurance). If the property's cash flow covers its own costs at an acceptable ratio, you qualify — no tax returns, no W-2s, no personal debt-to-income calculation.
What makes this program work.
Property Qualifies, Not You
No tax returns, W-2s, or personal income verification required — the property's rental income does the qualifying.
No Cap on Financed Properties
Unlike conventional investment loans, DSCR programs typically don't limit how many properties you can finance.
Close in an LLC
Many DSCR programs allow you to close title in an LLC or other business entity for liability and organizational purposes.
Programs for Various DSCR Levels
Options exist even when a property's DSCR ratio is below 1.0, depending on your overall profile and reserves.
Built for Growing Portfolios
Designed specifically for investors who are actively acquiring, not just holding one rental.
Single-Family to Small Multifamily
DSCR financing typically covers single-family rentals, condos, and small multifamily investment properties.
Is this the right fit?
- You're buying or refinancing a rental property, not a primary residence
- Your tax returns don't reflect your true cash flow (common for self-employed investors)
- You already own multiple financed properties and conventional DTI limits are the bottleneck
- You want to close in an LLC rather than your personal name
