How DSCR Loans Work
DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) is calculated by dividing a rental property's gross monthly rent by its total monthly mortgage payment (PITIA — principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and any HOA). Lenders use DSCR to evaluate whether the property may produce enough income to cover its own debt.
DSCR = Monthly Rental Income ÷ Monthly PITIA
Programs typically target a DSCR of 1.00–1.25, though sub-1.0 options may be available with rate or LTV adjustments. Availability is subject to lender guidelines.
