What is a DSCR loan?

A debt service coverage ratio loan is designed for real estate investors. Instead of relying primarily on employment income, the lender evaluates whether the subject property’s eligible rental income can cover its proposed monthly debt payment.

That structure can be useful for self-employed investors, borrowers with complex tax returns, and buyers building rental portfolios across Texas.
