Questions

DSCR Loans FAQ

What does DSCR mean?

DSCR means Debt Service Coverage Ratio. It compares eligible rental income with the property’s mortgage-related expenses to help evaluate whether the property supports the loan payment.

Do DSCR loans require tax returns?

Many DSCR programs focus on property cash flow instead of personal tax-return income, but documentation still varies by lender. Credit, reserves, property details, lease or rent schedule, and appraisal review may still be required.

Can a DSCR loan close in an LLC?

Many DSCR programs may allow LLC ownership, subject to lender guidelines, entity documents, title requirements, and borrower guarantees. It should be reviewed early in the process.
