How DSCR works

Let the rental income do the qualifying

DSCR stands for debt service coverage ratio. Instead of leaning on personal income documentation, the lender looks at whether the property’s rent can cover its housing payment.

  • Focus on the property’s cash flow rather than W-2s and tax returns
  • Purchase and refinance options for investment properties
  • Strategies for long-term, short-term and multi-unit rentals
  • Keep adding properties without the usual income-documentation barriers
See how DSCR loans work
The basic formula
DSCR = Monthly rental income ÷ Monthly housing payment
Example: $2,500 of qualifying rent ÷ a $2,000 PITIA payment = 1.25 DSCR. Actual qualifying rent, ratios and requirements vary by property, borrower and program.
