Forget about complex requirements. There’s no need for income verification, tax returns, or financial statements. All you need is a credit check and either a down payment or refi equity.
A DSCR rental loan is a financing option for real estate investors that qualifies a borrower based on a property's projected rental income rather than their personal income. DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio, which is a metric that compares a property's income to its mortgage payment. Experience stress-free financing today!

Property-based approval: Qualification depends on the property's performance rather than your personal finances. This is ideal for self-employed investors or those who have significant write-offs on their tax returns.
Faster and simpler process: Because lenders don't need to pore over extensive personal financial documents, the underwriting and closing processes are typically faster than for a conventional loan.
No portfolio limits: Unlike conventional mortgages, which often limit the number of properties a person can finance, DSCR lenders generally do not have a cap, allowing investors to scale their portfolios more easily.
Flexible borrowing options: DSCR loans can often be taken out in the name of an LLC or other business entity, which can help protect the investor's personal assets.
No W-2’s, No tax returns: Qualify based on your rental income alone, no traditional income verification needed.

How DSCR rental loans work
Instead of relying on a borrower's W-2s, tax returns, or personal debt-to-income (DTI) ratio, a DSCR loan focuses on the investment property's ability to produce enough cash flow to cover its own debt. The ratio is calculated by dividing the property's annual rental income by its annual debt obligations (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and any HOA dues).
Example
If a property's potential annual rental income is $30,000 and the annual loan payment is $24,000, the DSCR is 1.25 ($30,000 ÷ $24,000).
A DSCR of 1.0 means the property's income is just enough to cover its debts.
