DSCR Investor Loans

DSCR loans for investors in 38 states.

Forget tax returns and W2s. DSCR loans qualify based on the property's own rental income. If the math works, the deal works.

All loans subject to credit and underwriting approval. Not all applicants will qualify. Rates, terms, and program availability are subject to change without notice. This page is for general education and is not an offer to lend or a commitment to make a loan. Travis Penny, NMLS ID #1649161, is a mortgage loan originator with Vision Mortgage, LLC, NMLS #23007. Equal Housing Opportunity.

No personal income docs

Qualify on the property cash flow, not your tax returns.

LLC friendly

Close in your LLC. Stack your portfolio the way investors actually operate.

38 states covered

If you invest across state lines, I'm probably already lending there.

Important: business purpose disclosure

DSCR loans on this page are business purpose loans, secured by non owner occupied 1 to 4 unit residential investment property. Funds may not be used for personal, family, or household purposes. Business purpose loans are not subject to certain consumer protection laws that apply to owner occupied mortgages, including the Truth in Lending Act and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. Some states require the loan to be closed in the name of a limited liability company or corporation. State availability varies and is subject to change. We currently originate DSCR loans in 38 states. See our Licensing page for the current state list.

How DSCR actually works

DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) compares the property's monthly rent to its full mortgage payment. A DSCR of 1.0 means the rent covers the payment. Higher is better. Most lenders look for somewhere around 1.0 or above, with pricing improving as the ratio grows.

Who DSCR is built for

Real estate investors building a portfolio. People with W2 income too high or too messy to qualify a traditional way. Folks who don't want their personal life underwritten every time they buy a rental. BRRRR investors. Short term rental operators. The list is long.

What I'll need

  • The subject property address and basic info
  • Estimated rent (lease, market rent, or short term projection)
  • Your LLC docs if you're closing in an entity
  • Credit and basic asset info

When the deal sounds more commercial

Bigger commercial deals or true private money scenarios are usually a better fit at my sister brand. Visit thecapitalgoat.com for those.
