Understanding DSCR Loans
A DSCR Loan (Debt Service Coverage Ratio Loan) is designed for real estate investors, focusing only on rental income, not personal income.
A DSCR of 1.0 or higher means the property covers its costs, making it easier to qualify without tax returns or income verification.
The Numbers Game:
Let's break it down with an example.
Say your rental property generates $5,000 per month in income, and your monthly expenses, including PITI and HOA dues, sum up to $4,000.
In this case, your DSCR would look like this: $5,000 (rental income) / $4,000 (PITI) = 1.25 DSCR.
This robust DSCR would easily qualify you for a DSCR rental loan, ensuring your investment success.

How Are DSCR Loan Rates Determined?
Your DSCR loan rate is based on a few key factors:
Property’s Rental Income
The higher your rental income, the better your DSCR, and the lower your interest rate. Strong cash flow = lower risk for lenders.
Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratio
A lower LTV (more equity, less borrowing) helps reduce lender risk and secure better interest rates.
Credit Score Matters
Your highest mid-FICO score is used to determine your rate. A strong credit profile helps secure the best DSCR loan pricing.

Boost Your DSCR with Asset Depletion
Need to increase qualifying rental income? Asset depletion allows borrowers to convert liquid assets into additional qualifying income, improving cash flow and helping more properties meet DSCR Mortgage requirements.
How It Works:
A borrower with $120,000 in liquid assets (after down payment and closing costs) can use an asset depletion formula:
- $120,000 ÷ 60 months = $2,000 in additional qualifying income
Example:
📌 Market Rent: $4,000 | PITI: $6,000 → DSCR: 0.66 (Not eligible)
📌 Market Rent + Asset Depletion ($2,000): $6,000 | PITI: $6,000 → DSCR: 1.0 (Eligible for better rates!)

I would highly recommend Darrin Seppinni for your loan. I am here to say you do not have to go anywhere else. This great man and his wife Jayne and their staff got my wife and I a loan on a home with a 21 day escrow in the hottest sellers’ market…
