    What Is a DSCR Loan?

    EZIO Research Team

    How It Works

    A Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan is a type of Non-QM mortgage that allows real estate investors to qualify for a loan based entirely on their property's cash flow rather than their personal income. This means no tax returns, no W-2s, and no complicated debt-to-income (DTI) ratio calculations.

    The DSCR formula is simple: Gross Rental Income divided by the property's PITIA (Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance, and HOA fees). For example, if a property generates $2,000 in monthly rent and the total monthly payment is $1,500, the DSCR is 1.33x.

    Key Benefits

    Unlimited Scalability

    Since personal income isn't a factor, there is virtually no limit to how many properties you can finance.

    Asset Protection

    Ability to close in the name of an LLC or Corporation to protect your personal assets.

    Speed & Simplicity

    Less paperwork means faster underwriting and closing times compared to conventional loans.

    Flexible Properties

    Usable for long-term rentals (LTRs), short-term rentals (STRs), and multi-unit properties.
