Why DSCR

  • Close in an LLC — vesting built for portfolio investors.
  • 30-year fixed, 5/1 & 7/1 ARM, and interest-only options.
  • Purchase, rate-term refinance, and cash-out to 75% LTV.
  • Short-term rental and mid-term rental income accepted.
  • First-time investors and foreign nationals considered.

Questions

DSCR, answered.

How is a DSCR loan underwritten?
Qualification is driven by the property's debt service coverage ratio — gross rent divided by principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and any HOA. Personal income documents are not part of the file.
What DSCR do I need?
1.10x or better prices best. We regularly place files between 1.00x and 1.10x, and down to 0.75x with reduced leverage or added reserves.
How fast can this close?
Term indication typically within one business day of a complete scenario. Standard closings run 21–30 days depending on appraisal and title.
Can I close in an LLC?
Yes. DSCR loans are investor-purpose business loans and are commonly vested in an LLC or corporation.

Rate ranges are indicative market guidance as of July 2026 and are not a commitment to lend. Final pricing depends on DSCR, leverage, FICO, reserves, experience, property type, and lender guidelines. Investor-purpose loans only; not for owner-occupied or consumer-purpose financing.
