DSCR Loans: The Secret Weapon of People Who Actually Know What They’re Doing

If you’re tired of being asked for your W-2, tax returns, and a childhood essay just to finance a rental property, you’re in the right place.

DSCR loans (short for Debt Service Coverage Ratio loans) are built for real estate investors who care more about ROI than pay stubs. These are the go-to loans for scaling portfolios of single-family rentals, multifamily units, and even short-term rentals like Airbnbs.

DSCR in Plain English

DSCR = Monthly Rental Income ÷ Monthly Debt Obligation (PITI) That’s it. The property needs to cover its own bills. We don’t care what car you drive, what your CPA wrote off, or if you haven’t seen a W-2 in five years.

Let’s breakdown some numbers.

DSCR = 1.25 → Your rental brings in 25% more than the monthly cost to own it.

DSCR = 1.0 → You’re breaking even.

DSCR = 0.75 → Some lenders may still work with you… if you’ve got strong reserves and a solid exit plan.

Purpose

Knowing the purpose is simple: to purchase or refinance income-producing real estate using the property’s cash flow, not your personal finances. This means no income verification, no tax returns, and no explaining why your LLC is a write-off machine.

For Who?

This loan is for full-time investors who are building serious rental portfolios and self-employed borrowers who don’t want to untangle their tax strategy just to get a loan. This loan is not for your primary residence or your cousin’s basement unit.

Loan Structure

Here’s how DSCR loans typically look under the hood:

Loan Term: 30-year fixed, 5/1 or 7/1 ARM
Loan Amounts: $100K – $5M+
Interest Rates: 6%–10% (depending on DSCR, LTV, and vibes… just kidding—it’s math)
LTV: Up to 80%
Amortization: Fully amortized or interest-only
Prepay Penalties: Usually a step-down or yield maintenance (yes, we’ll explain it before you sign anything)

The Smart Investor Way

Smart investors are using DSCR loans because there are no income docs. Seriously, none. These loans close in 2-3 weeks because time kills deals. They are portfolio friendly, so if you own 10+ properties, we won’t cry about it. Lastly, they are cash-out friendly to allow you to pull equity from rentals without jumping through hoops.
