DSCR / Investor.
Qualifies you on the property's rental income, not your personal income. Built for real estate investors who don't want to document W-2s, tax returns, or pay stubs. The property pays for itself — and that's the whole underwrite. Eight programs sit behind this page; your deal decides which one.
One ratio decides it.
DSCR is the property’s monthly rent divided by its monthly payment (PITI). At 1.0 the rent covers the payment. Above it, leverage opens up — 15% down at the top tier. Below it, programs run to 0.75, and one skips the ratio entirely. No W-2s, no tax returns — the property qualifies, not you.
Eight programs. Your deal picks one.
Every card below is a different underwrite behind the same application. You don't shop them — that's my job. You just find your deal.
The standard case. Rent at or above the payment with 740 credit puts 15% down on the table — loans from $75K to $3M.
Short-term rental income counts — twelve months of hosting history or an appraiser's market-rent study sets the income. Expect 25–40% down and a stronger coverage bar.
Coverage floors at 0.75 on most programs — and one doesn't measure the rent at all. 700 credit and 25% down, and the property's cash flow is nobody's business.
Floors reach 620 for experienced investors. One program takes a bankruptcy or foreclosure just two years back.
One program documents a 40-year term that opens with a full decade of interest-only. The payment is interest alone until year eleven.
Cash-out refis run to 75% of value. Keep the new loan at 60% or below and the cash amount is uncapped on more than one program.
One program qualifies you on bank-statement income and the property's rent together — no tax returns on either side of the file.
No W-2s, no tax returns, no personal debt-to-income math. Close in an LLC. 1–4 unit residential — no 5–10 unit here. Reserves run 3–12 months of payments by tier. Most programs carry a prepayment penalty — typically 5% on payoffs above 20% of the balance in a year, on a 1-to-5-year term you choose up front; one program carries none.
The numbers.
- Coverage (DSCR)
- Monthly rent divided by monthly PITI. Floors at 0.75 on most programs, one no-ratio option. 1.0+ unlocks full leverage.
- Down payment
- 15% at the top tier (740 credit, rent covers the payment). 20–25% typical. Cash-out refis to 75% of value.
- Credit score
- 620 floor for experienced investors; first-timers 640–680 by program. 740+ gets the best pricing.
- Income docs
- None. No W-2s, no tax returns, no pay stubs. The property's income is the whole story.
- Loan size
- $75K to $3M.
- Property types
- 1–4 unit residential investment properties. Short-term rentals (Airbnb/VRBO) eligible with conditions. No 5–10 unit on these programs.
- Terms
- 30-year fixed standard. One program runs a 40-year term with the first 10 years interest-only.
- Reserves
- 3–12 months of payments by tier — leverage and credit set where you land.
- Ownership
- Close personally or in an LLC — the standard structure for investors. Expect a personal guaranty on some programs.
- Appraisal
- Standard appraisal plus a Form 1007 rent schedule that documents the market rent. The 1007 sets the income side of your DSCR math.
- Prepayment
- Typically 5% on payoffs above 20% of the balance in a year, on a 1-to-5-year term you choose up front. One program carries none.
Not for you if you're buying a home to live in — DSCR is investment-property financing, full stop.
When a loan I offer isn't right for you, I'll say so — and point you to the one that is.
