About DSCR Loans

What is a DSCR loan — and how does this calculator work?

A DSCR loan (Debt Service Coverage Ratio loan) qualifies you based on the rental income of the property rather than your personal income, W-2s, or tax returns. If the property's rent covers the mortgage payment, you can qualify — making DSCR loans the go-to financing for self-employed investors, LLC buyers, and portfolio builders.

This calculator divides your effective gross rent by your total monthly debt obligation (P&I + taxes + insurance) to give you a DSCR ratio. A 1.0 means break-even. Anything above qualifies. We fund down to 1.00.

DSCR Questions

Common questions answered.

What is a good DSCR ratio?
A DSCR of 1.25 or higher qualifies easily (Grade A). Between 1.10–1.24 is solid (Grade B). We fund DSCR loans down to 1.00, where the rent exactly covers the payment. Below 1.00 requires a larger down payment or case-by-case review.
Do DSCR loans require tax returns?
No. DSCR loans qualify on the property's rental income, not your personal income. No tax returns, W-2s, or employment verification are required. This makes them ideal for self-employed borrowers, investors with complex returns, and LLC buyers.
What down payment do I need for a DSCR loan?
Most DSCR loans require 20–25% down. A larger down payment lowers the monthly payment, which directly improves your DSCR ratio and can unlock better rates. Try increasing your down payment % in the calculator above to see the effect.
Can I use short-term rental (STR/Airbnb) income?
Yes. Many DSCR lenders accept STR income using either a market rent analysis or 12 months of documented Airbnb/VRBO income. Short-term rental properties typically generate higher income, which can significantly boost your qualifying DSCR.
Can I close a DSCR loan in an LLC?
Yes — this is one of the main advantages of DSCR loans. You can close in an LLC, trust, or other entity without triggering the due-on-sale clause. Most portfolio investors use entities for liability protection and this does not affect qualification.
