DSCR in plain words

The property pays its own way.

DSCR stands for debt service coverage ratio. It answers one question: does the rent cover the mortgage payment?

  1. 1
    Monthly rentFrom a lease, an appraiser’s rent estimate, or for short-term rentals, the income the lender will accept.
  2. 2
    ÷ Full payment (PITIA)Principal, interest, property taxes, insurance and any HOA dues.
  3. 3
    = DSCR1.00 means rent exactly covers the payment. Above 1.00, the rent covers it with room to spare. Each program sets its own minimum.
Investor loan options

Four ways to finance a rental.

Plain-language overviews. The right fit depends on the property, your plans, and your income documentation. All programs are subject to credit approval and program guidelines.

Rent ÷ payment

DSCR

Qualify on the property’s rent

A DSCR loan looks mainly at whether the property’s rent covers its payment (principal, interest, taxes, insurance and HOA) instead of your tax returns or W-2s. Good for self-employed investors and people growing a portfolio.

Full documentation

Conventional investment

Standard financing for a rental

A conventional loan for a non-owner-occupied home. It uses your personal income, credit and reserves, and can be a good fit when your income is easy to document.

House hacking

2–4 units

Live in one, rent the others

Buy a duplex, triplex or fourplex and live in one unit. Rent from the other units may help you qualify, depending on the program. A common first step into investing.

Flexible documentation

Non-QM

When your story doesn’t fit a box

Options such as bank-statement or asset-based loans for borrowers whose income or properties don’t fit standard guidelines. Terms and down payments differ from conventional loans.
