DSCR Loans

DSCR Loan Programs

Qualify on the Property.
Not Your Paycheck.

DSCR loans are purpose-built for real estate investors. No W-2s, no tax returns, no DTI calculation — qualification is based solely on whether the property's rental income covers the mortgage payment.

Why DSCR

Built for Investors. Not W-2 Earners.

Traditional lenders qualify you on personal income. DSCR lenders qualify the deal. Here's what that means for your portfolio.

No Personal Income Required

No tax returns, W-2s, or pay stubs — ever. Qualification is based solely on the property's rental income relative to the monthly mortgage payment.

High Leverage — Up to 85% LTV

Properties with strong cash flow qualify for as little as 15% down. Keep more capital in reserve and scale your portfolio faster.

No-Ratio Option

Properties that don't currently cash flow still qualify. Our No-Ratio program allows purchase and refinance transactions for strong-credit borrowers regardless of DSCR.

LLC & Entity Vesting

Close and title the property in the name of your LLC, Corporation, or Partnership. Asset protection built into every transaction from day one.

No Experience Required

First-time investors are welcome on 1-4 unit properties. No flipping history or portfolio size requirement to get started.

Fast, Streamlined Closings

As business-purpose loans, DSCR transactions are exempt from TRID/QM restrictions — no three-day waiting periods, no mortgage disclosure delays.

Signature Program

DSCR Fusion — When Income Alone Isn't Enough

DSCR Fusion Program

Combine Rental Income
+ Liquid Assets

Some properties generate strong cash flow — but not quite enough to clear the DSCR threshold on their own. The DSCR Fusion program solves this by allowing you to supplement rental income with verified liquid assets during qualification.

Asset utilization converts a portion of your liquid holdings into a calculated monthly income figure, which is then blended with the property's actual rental income to meet DSCR requirements. This opens doors that standard DSCR qualification would close.

Who This Program Serves

  • Investors with strong liquid reserves but borderline cash-flowing properties
  • High-net-worth borrowers with significant brokerage or retirement accounts
  • Properties in lease-up phase with below-market current rents
  • Borrowers transitioning a property from STR to long-term rental
  • Anyone who needs a blended qualification approach to close a deal
Loan Structure

Choose the Term That Fits Your Strategy

Fixed rates, adjustable rates, and interest-only options — structure the loan around your cash flow goals, not the lender's preferences.

40-Yr
Fixed Rate
Lower monthly payment. Optimizes monthly cash flow on tight spreads.
15-Yr
Fixed Rate
Accelerated payoff. Best for investors prioritizing equity build.
5/6 ARM
Adjustable
Fixed for 5 years, then adjusts every 6 months. Lower initial rate.
7/6 ARM
Adjustable
Fixed for 7 years, then adjusts every 6 months. Ideal for medium holds.
Flexible Qualification

Standard DSCR vs. No-Ratio — What's the Difference?

Not every great investment property cash flows on day one. The No-Ratio option removes the DSCR floor entirely for the right borrower profile.

Standard DSCR

Income Covers the Payment

The property's monthly gross rental income is divided by the PITIA (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, association dues). A ratio of 1.00 means break-even. We lend down to 0.75 DSCR — meaning the property only needs to cover 75 cents of every dollar of mortgage payment.

Best for: stabilized rentals, properties with strong market rents, and investors who want maximum leverage with minimal cash contribution.

No-Ratio Option

No DSCR Floor — Credit Qualifies

For properties below 0.75 DSCR — or where no rental income exists yet — the No-Ratio program removes the income requirement entirely. Qualification is based on borrower credit strength and equity position rather than property cash flow.

Best for: value-add acquisitions, properties mid-renovation, investors purchasing below market and planning a reposition, or any deal where the numbers will work after stabilization.

Specialty Programs

Programs for Every Investor Profile

Standard DSCR is just the foundation. We have dedicated paths for non-traditional borrower situations.

DSCR Fusion

Blend rental income with liquid asset utilization to meet DSCR thresholds on properties that don't quite qualify on income alone.

No-Ratio DSCR

No income floor required. Purchase or refinance investment properties regardless of current DSCR — credit and equity position drive qualification.

Short-Term Rental

Airbnb and VRBO income accepted. Qualify using a 12-month STR revenue history or AirDNA market projections.

Foreign National

No U.S. Social Security Number required. Foreign credit and ITIN qualification paths available for international investors.

5–8 Unit Multi-Family

Specialized DSCR program for apartment buildings up to 8 units. Loan amounts up to $3,000,000 with property-level underwriting.

Closed-End 2nd

DSCR-qualified 2nd mortgages up to 80% CLTV. Access equity without disturbing your low-rate first mortgage. No tax returns required.
