DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans are designed for rental property investors and are underwritten primarily based on the property’s cash flow rather than the borrower’s personal income. The loan qualification focuses on whether the property generates sufficient income to cover its debt obligations. This approach simplifies the lending process and allows investors to expand their portfolios more efficiently, particularly when acquiring multiple rental properties.
