What Is A DSCR Loan
A DSCR loan is a nonowner-occupied, NON-QM loan utilized by Real Estate investors to expand their portfolios. The principal difference between a conventional mortgage and a DSCR or Debt Service Coverage Ratio is that the borrowers Income and debt are not factored into the qualifying criteria, Instead the Rental property income and monthly obligations are calculated utilizing the Debt Service Coverage Ratio to determine the properties cash flow position. DSCR is a simple means of measuring a properties income based on the monthly rent divided by the monthly principal, interest, taxes, insurance and association fees (PITIA).
As an example, If the property generates a monthly Net Income of $4200 and the PITIA expenses equals $3750 the DSCR would equal 1.12 indicating positive cash flow.
DSCR = $4200 / $3750
DSCR= 1.12
