What is a DSCR loan and do I qualify?
A DSCR loan qualifies you on the property's rental cash flow rather than your personal income, so there are no tax returns or W2s required. DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio, the rent the property brings in measured against its loan payment.
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.

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.
DSCR loans in Florida
Florida is the single biggest market for DSCR loans in the country, and it is one I close in every week. Short term rental investors in Orlando, Kissimmee, Destin, and the Panhandle. Long term landlords in Jacksonville, Tampa, and Lakeland. Snowbird buyers turning a Naples or Cape Coral second home into a seasonal rental. A DSCR loan Florida investors actually close on is the one that accounts for the real Florida costs: hurricane insurance, flood insurance, condo association assessments, and the seasonality of short term rent. I underwrite the deal with those numbers in, not pretend they don't exist.
If you are buying a Florida investment property in an LLC and you want to skip tax returns, this is your loan.
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
