What is a DSCR Home Loan?
DSCR loans are the workhorse of modern real estate investing. By qualifying on the property's cash flow instead of your personal income, they sidestep every problem self-employed investors face with conventional lenders.
The math is simple: monthly rent ÷ monthly PITI must equal 1.0 or higher. If the property cash-flows, the loan is approvable.
Your Company funds DSCR loans for single-family rentals, small multifamily, and short-term rentals. We close in LLCs, allow flexible reserves, and have programs for borrowers with 5+ financed properties.
A DSCR (Debt-Service Coverage Ratio) loan qualifies you based on the rental property's cash flow — not your W-2 or tax returns. Perfect for serious real estate investors.
