DSCR: The Investor's Advantage

DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) financing is a game-changer for investors. Qualify based on the property's rental income divided by the mortgage payment. A DSCR of 1.0 means rent covers the payment. No tax returns, no employment verification, no income limits.

  • DSCR: Appraisal with rent schedule, bank statements for reserves
  • Bank Statement: 12-24 months statements, no tax returns needed
  • All Programs: Credit report, property appraisal, title insurance

Investment Property Loans FAQs

What are investment property loans?

These are mortgages designed to finance rental properties, multi-family buildings, and other real estate investments. Unlike owner-occupied financing, these are for properties you won't live in as your primary residence.

How much down payment do I need?

Most programs require 20-25% down payment. Some portfolio lenders offer 15% down options for strong borrowers. The larger down payment offsets the higher risk of non-owner-occupied properties.

Can I qualify without tax returns?

Yes! DSCR loans qualify based on the property's rental income, not your personal income. No tax returns, W-2s, or employment verification required. This is ideal for self-employed investors or those with complex tax situations.

What is DSCR?

DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) compares the property's rental income to its mortgage payment. A DSCR of 1.25 means rent is 125% of the payment. Most programs require 1.0-1.25 DSCR minimum.

How many properties can I finance?

Conventional loans limit you to 10 financed properties. DSCR and portfolio programs have no property limits—you can finance as many as you qualify for.

What credit score do I need?

Most programs require 620-680 minimum credit score. DSCR programs may accept lower scores with larger down payments. Better rates are available at 720+ credit scores.
