How lenders qualify you

What is DSCR?

Debt service coverage ratio compares the property's monthly rent to its monthly payment. Lenders use it in place of your personal income.

DSCR = Monthly rent ÷ Monthly PITIA
Monthly rent$2,400 Principal, interest, taxes, insurance, HOA$2,000 DSCR1.20

A DSCR of 1.00 or higher means the rent covers the payment. Lower ratios can still qualify with a larger down payment.

Common questions

Rental loan FAQ

Do I need to show personal income?

No. DSCR loans qualify on the property's rent. Lenders review your credit, your assets for down payment and reserves, and the property itself.

Can I close in my LLC?

Yes. Most of our lenders prefer an LLC or corporation, with the owners signing a personal guarantee.

Can I use Airbnb or VRBO income?

Yes. Lenders use 12 months of booking history, or a market projection such as AirDNA for a new short-term rental.

I'm a first-time investor. Can I qualify?

Several of our lending partners accept first-time investors, usually with slightly lower leverage.

Is this loan for a home I'll live in?

No. Rental loans are business-purpose loans for investment property only. The property cannot be your primary residence or second home.
