What Is It
What is a DSCR loan?

A DSCR (debt service coverage ratio) loan is a rental property loan underwritten on the property's income rather than your personal income. Lenders calculate the ratio of the property's rental income to its debt payments — if it covers the payment, you qualify.

DSCR loans are popular with real estate investors who have strong cash-flowing rentals but don't want to document personal W-2 or tax income. Through BidMyCapital you can compare DSCR financing offers from multiple lenders.

How It Works
How DSCR financing works
🏠

Rate the property's income

Lenders use projected rental income to assess coverage.

🧮

Calculate the DSCR

Rental income divided by debt payment — 1.0 or higher is the target.

💰

Fund the investment

Approval is based on the property, not your personal tax returns.

Costs
DSCR loan rates and terms

Because they skip income documentation, DSCR loans carry a rate premium — typically 0.5% to 2% above conventional investor loans, depending on DSCR and LTV. Terms commonly run 30 years fixed or 5/6-month adjustable structures.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a good DSCR?

A DSCR of 1.0 means the property's income exactly covers the debt payment. Most lenders prefer 1.1 to 1.25 to account for expenses, though 1.0 DSCR loans exist at lower loan-to-value.

Can I get a DSCR loan with no personal income?

Yes — that is the point. DSCR loans use the property's rental income instead of W-2s or tax returns, making them popular with investors and self-employed borrowers.

Do DSCR loans work for short-term rentals?

Many lenders now underwrite short-term and Airbnb-style rental income for DSCR qualification, often at slightly lower leverage.

How much do I need for a down payment?

Typically 20% to 30% down for investment DSCR loans, with better rates at higher equity.

Is a DSCR loan right for me?

If you own cash-flowing rental property and want approval without personal income documentation, a DSCR loan is built for you.
