Frequently Asked Questions

What is DSCR?

DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) measures whether a property's rental income can cover its debt payments. A DSCR of 1.0 means income exactly covers debt; above 1.0 means positive cash flow.

What DSCR do lenders require?

Most lenders require a minimum DSCR of 1.20-1.25 for investment property loans. Some DSCR loan programs may accept 1.0 or even below 1.0 with compensating factors.

How do I improve my DSCR?

Improve DSCR by increasing rental income, reducing operating expenses, making a larger down payment (to reduce debt service), or negotiating a lower interest rate.
