REAL ESTATE INVESTORS — DO YOU KNOW ABOUT DSCR LOANS?
If you’re looking to purchase an investment property, a DSCR loan may be worth knowing about.
DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio, and here’s what makes it different:
Instead of qualifying primarily based on your personal income, W-2s, or tax returns, the lender looks at the rental income the property can generate compared with the property’s qualifying monthly expenses.
In simple terms… Does the property generate enough rent to support the payment?
DSCR loans can be a great option for:
🔑 Real estate investors
🏘️ Rental properties
📈 Investors growing their portfolio
💼 Self-employed borrowers who may not want to qualify using traditional income documentation
And depending on the program, there can be options for short-term rentals and long-term rentals.
One of my favorite things about lending is finding the financing that actually fits the borrower AND the property. Not every investment needs to fit inside the traditional mortgage box.
Thinking about buying an investment property? Let’s run the numbers and see what makes sense.
