For Real Estate Investors · No Personal Income Verification

Qualify on the Property's Cash Flow.
Not Your Personal Income.

A DSCR loan is underwritten around your investment property's rental income — not your tax returns, W-2s, or personal debt-to-income ratio. Built for investors who want financing that keeps pace with how they actually do business.

Not a commitment to lend. DSCR loans are Non-QM investment property programs subject to eligibility, property, and lender guidelines.

A DSCR loan (Debt Service Coverage Ratio loan) is a Non-QM investment property loan qualified using the subject property's rental income rather than the borrower's personal income or employment history. DSCR loans are not government-insured and are not Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac conforming loans; terms, pricing, and eligibility vary by program and investor.
HOW IT CAN HELP

What a DSCR Loan Offers

Financing built around your investment strategy, not your pay stubs.

No Tax Returns or W-2s

Qualification is based on the property's rental income, not your personal income documentation.

Cash Flow Does the Talking

Lenders look at the property's rent relative to its mortgage payment instead of your personal DTI.

Close in an LLC

Many programs allow title to be held in an LLC or other eligible business entity.

Scale Your Portfolio

Because qualification isn't tied to personal income, DSCR financing can make it easier to grow a multi-property portfolio.

Short-Term Rentals Considered

Many programs accept short-term or vacation rental income, subject to lender guidelines.

BEFORE YOU START

Is a DSCR Loan Right for You?

General guidelines for DSCR investor financing. Exact requirements depend on the specific program and lender.

  • The property must be a non-owner-occupied investment property — not your primary residence.
  • Typically requires a larger down payment than an owner-occupied loan — commonly 20–25% or more, depending on the program.
  • The property's projected or in-place rental income is used to calculate the DSCR ratio, generally via an appraisal-based rent schedule or lease.
  • Credit score, reserve requirements, and minimum DSCR ratio vary by lender and program.
  • Title may be held individually or in an eligible business entity (such as an LLC), depending on the program.

COMMON QUESTIONS

DSCR Loan FAQ

What is a DSCR loan?

A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan qualifies borrowers based on an investment property's rental income relative to its debt obligations, rather than the borrower's personal income, tax returns, or employment history.

Do I need tax returns or proof of personal income?

Generally no. DSCR loans are qualified using the property's rental income relative to its debt service, not your personal income, W-2s, or tax returns. Requirements still vary by lender and program.

What DSCR ratio do I need to qualify?

Requirements vary by lender and program. A ratio of 1.0 or higher generally means the property's rental income covers its full mortgage payment; some programs allow lower ratios with adjusted pricing or terms.

Can I use this for a short-term or vacation rental?

Many DSCR programs allow short-term rental income, though eligibility, documentation, and income calculation methods vary by lender and property type.

Can I close in an LLC or business entity?

Many DSCR programs allow title to be held in an LLC or other eligible business entity. Requirements vary by lender and program.
