Loan Program

DSCR investor loans.

Who is a DSCR loan for?

A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan is designed for real estate investors who want to qualify based on a property's income rather than personal income. Qualification is driven by the property's ability to cover its mortgage payment, not your personal debt-to-income ratio.

  • Real estate investors purchasing or refinancing rental properties
  • Self-employed borrowers who prefer not to document traditional income
  • Investors growing or scaling a rental portfolio
  • Owners of long-term and short-term rental properties
  • Borrowers with complex tax returns or significant write-offs
  • Investors who want a streamlined approval process

Benefits of a DSCR loan

No personal income documentation

No tax returns, W-2s, or pay stubs required.

Qualification based on rental income

Approval focuses on the property's cash flow, not employment status.

Simplified underwriting

Fewer documents and a faster approval process than traditional investment loans.

Unlimited financed properties

Ideal for investors building or expanding a portfolio.

Short and long-term rentals

Including vacation rentals where permitted.

LLC and entity ownership allowed

Properties may be financed in a business entity.
