DSCR FAQ

DSCR loan questions, answered

Quick answers for real estate investors and the brokers who serve them.

What is a DSCR loan?

A DSCR (debt service coverage ratio) loan is an investment property mortgage that qualifies mainly on the property's rental income instead of the borrower's personal income. It's built for real estate investors buying or refinancing rental properties.

How is DSCR calculated?

DSCR is the property's gross monthly rent divided by its monthly housing payment: principal, interest, taxes, insurance and any HOA dues. A ratio of 1.00 means the rent covers the payment. Minimum ratio requirements vary by program and investor.

Do I need tax returns, W-2s or pay stubs for a DSCR loan?

Generally, no. DSCR programs typically don't use personal tax returns, W-2s or pay stubs to qualify. Lenders still review credit, assets, reserves and the property itself, subject to program guidelines.

Can I close a DSCR loan in an LLC?

Yes. Many DSCR programs allow you to take title and close in an LLC or other business entity, subject to guidelines. A personal guarantee is typically required. We're not CPAs or attorneys, so talk with your tax or legal advisor about whether an LLC fits your situation.

Can I use a DSCR loan for a short-term rental or a Miami condo?

Many DSCR programs allow short-term rental income and condo purchases, including some non-warrantable buildings, subject to building review and guidelines. Check the building first on our Approved Condo List, and see Miami Jumbo Condo & LLC Loans.

Can mortgage brokers submit DSCR loans to TAG Lending Group?

Yes. Licensed mortgage brokers can place DSCR and investor files through TAG's wholesale channel in the states where TAG is licensed as a lender. See our licensed states.
