DSCR Loans Overview

A Smarter Way to Fund Your Investment Property

What Is a DSCR Loan?

A DSCR loan is a type of mortgage used by real estate investors to purchase or refinance income-producing properties, based on the property’s cash flow, not your income.  This makes it an excellent choice for:  

  • Self-employed investors  
  • Full-time real estate professionals  
  • Borrowers with complex or variable income  
  • Anyone looking to grow a portfolio with minimal red tape

How It Works

DSCR loans are approved based on the property’s rental income, not your job, W-2, or tax returns. That means no income verification or employment documentation is typically required.  The key metric?  DSCR = Net Operating Income (NOI) / Annual Debt Payments

  • Net Operating Income (NOI) = Rental income minus expenses (taxes, insurance, maintenance—not mortgage payments)  
  • Annual Debt Service = Total of your yearly mortgage principal and interest (P&I), and sometimes property taxes, insurance, and HOA fees

Example:

If your property generates $60,000 in NOI per year and your annual mortgage payments are $48,000, DSCR = 60,000 ÷ 48,000 = 1.25. That means your property earns 25% more than your debt payments—most lenders consider this a solid deal.

What Properties Qualify?

DSCR loans are ideal for:  

  • Single-family rentals  
  • Multifamily properties  
  • Short-term rentals (Airbnb, VRBO)  
  • Mixed-use or commercial residential spaces

Why Investors Choose DSCR Loans

✔ No Tax Returns Needed  

✔ No Employment or W-2 Verification  ✔ Scalable—No Limit on Number of Properties Financed  

✔ Ideal for LLCs, Trusts, or Self-Directed IRA purchases  

✔ Flexible terms—some offer interest-only options  

✔ Larger loan amounts based on property performance

Things to Keep in Mind

Like any financial tool, DSCR loans come with considerations:  

  • Similar Interest Rates & Down Payments  Compared to conventional loans, rates and minimum down payments (often 20-25%) may be higher due to added lender risk.  
  • Prepayment Penalties  Some DSCR loans carry penalties if you pay off the loan early. Always check the fine print.  
  • Performance-Based Approval  If your property loses tenants or income drops, it could affect your ability to refinance or qualify again.

Is a DSCR Loan Right for You?

DSCR loans may be a great fit if you:  

  • Don’t qualify for a conventional mortgage  
  • Are investing in a property with a strong rental income  
  • Want to build a portfolio of multiple cash-flowing properties  
  • Are looking for limited-doc or no-doc loan options 

Explore Other Options if You:

  • Need lower upfront costs or better interest rates (look at conventional or FHA loans)  
  • Already own equity-rich property—consider HELOCs or cash-out refinancing
