How It Works
For real estate investors, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) is one of the most important metrics to understand. It determines whether a property generates enough income to cover its debt obligations, which is the primary qualification factor for a DSCR loan.
DSCR = Gross Monthly Rental Income ÷ PITIA. PITIA stands for Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance, and Association dues (if applicable).
