FAQ
What is the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)?
It compares a property's rental income to its monthly mortgage payment. A DSCR over 1.0 means the property earns more than it costs.
How is DSCR calculated?
Gross rental income ÷ PITIA (Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance, and HOA if applicable).
What’s the minimum DSCR to qualify?
Most lenders require 1.0 to 1.25, but some allow 0.75 with higher down payments or pricing adjustments. Subject to change.
Do I need tax returns or employment verification?
No, qualification is based on property income, not personal income.
Can I use short-term rental income (Airbnb, VRBO)?
Some lenders accept it if it’s documented with past history or projected market rents.
Can I buy multiple properties with DSCR loans?
Yes, they’re popular with portfolio investors and don’t count your personal DTI.
