Common Questions About This Loan — Answered for You
A DSCR (Debt-Service Coverage Ratio) Loan focuses on the property’s cash flow instead of personal income to qualify. It’s a great option for those looking to finance rental properties, as it simplifies the approval process by focusing on how well the property itself can cover the loan payments.
DSCR measures the property’s income against its debt. To calculate it, you simply divide the monthly rental income by the monthly loan payment. For example, if a property brings in $2,000 a month and the loan payment is $1,500, the DSCR would be 1.33—meaning the income covers 133% of the debt.
Curious how your numbers stack up? You can plug them into our Rental Property Calculator to see your DSCR in real time.
Absolutely! DSCR loans are a great fit for expanding your real estate portfolio. You can finance multiple properties, making it easier to build a diverse set of rental properties.
Yes, definitely! Since the approval process is based on the income from the property, it’s a straightforward option for anyone ready to dive into real estate investing.
Our minimum DSCR requirement is 1.05, which means the property should generate at least 105% of the loan’s monthly payments in income. However, if your DSCR is closer to 1.1 or higher, you’ll have access to even better rates and terms, so aiming for a higher DSCR can be beneficial in the long run.
No tax returns required! DSCR loans simplify the process by skipping personal income verification, so you don’t need to submit tax returns. Instead, the loan approval relies on the income potential of the property itself, making it a convenient and efficient option.
Absolutely! After purchasing the property using a Fix and Flip Loan, you can use a DSCR loan to pull cash out of the property and refinance your Fix and Flip Loan into a long-term 30-year mortgage. This gives you the benefit of lower, fixed monthly payments and keeps your investment working for you, allowing you to free up funds for your next project.
