What is a DSCR loan?

A DSCR loan is a business-purpose mortgage for an investment property that evaluates the property's rental income against its housing expenses, rather than relying primarily on the borrower's tax returns. Availability and terms vary by property and state, and these loans are not for owner-occupied homes.

What else should I know?

DSCR generally compares qualifying rent with principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and association dues. The lender also reviews the property, reserves, credit profile, and transaction.

First Equity provides calm, specific guidance based on verified current requirements. Final approval depends on a complete application and underwriting.
