How many DSCR loans can I have at once?

Many investors hold 10, 20 or more DSCR loans simultaneously since personal income is not the qualifying factor.

DSCR Investment Loans

DSCR Loans: Qualify on Property Income, Not Yours.

Q: What DSCR ratio do I need to qualify?

Most programs prefer 1.0 or higher, meaning rent fully covers the PITIA payment. Some programs allow 0.75+ with compensating factors.

Q: Are there prepayment penalties?

Some DSCR loans include step-down prepayment penalties. We will always be transparent about any prepayment terms before you commit.

Real estate investors: no W-2, no tax returns, no personal income verification. DSCR loans qualify based entirely on the property's rental income relative to the mortgage payment — ideal for scaling your portfolio without limits.

How DSCR Works

The Smart Investor's Mortgage Tool

📊

Property Income = Qualification

DSCR = Gross Monthly Rent ÷ PITIA (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, association). A ratio of 1.0 means the property breaks even; 1.2+ is preferred for strong approval.

🚫

No Personal Income Required

Your W-2, self-employment income, tax returns, and personal DTI are completely irrelevant. The property's income is the entire qualification basis.

📈

Scale Without Limits

Since personal income doesn't factor in, you can hold 5, 10, or 20+ DSCR loans simultaneously — building a real estate portfolio that personal income constraints can't cap.

🏘️

STR & LTR Properties

Long-term rental and short-term rental (Airbnb, VRBO) income both considered. Available for single-family, condos, and 2–4 unit investment properties.

FAQ

DSCR Loan Questions

What DSCR ratio do I need to qualify?

Most programs prefer a DSCR of 1.0 or higher, meaning rent fully covers the PITIA payment. Some programs allow ratios as low as 0.75 with compensating factors like a larger down payment or higher credit score. Alex will run the exact DSCR calculation for your property.

Can I use Airbnb or short-term rental income?

Yes, in many cases. We may use a 12-month Airbnb revenue report or a market rent analysis from the appraiser using comparable STR data. STR income qualification varies by program — contact Alex to discuss your specific property's income profile.

How many DSCR loans can I have at the same time?

Since personal income and DTI aren't qualifying factors, many investors hold 10, 20, or more DSCR loans simultaneously. This makes DSCR the ideal tool for rapidly scaling a real estate portfolio without the personal income limitations of conventional loans.

Are there prepayment penalties on DSCR loans?

Some DSCR loans include step-down prepayment penalties (e.g., 3-2-1 or 5-4-3-2-1 over the first few years). This is common in non-QM lending. Alex will always be transparent about any prepayment terms before you commit, and can explore programs with no prepayment penalty when available.
