The property qualifies, not your tax return.

A DSCR loan approves a rental purchase on the debt service coverage ratio: the property's market rent divided by its full payment. At 1.0 or better the rent carries the loan. No personal income documents, and you can close in an LLC.

Common questions

Asked on almost every first call.

What if the rent does not cover the payment?

Some programs accept a ratio below 1.0 with a larger down payment and higher rate.

Can I use short-term rental income?

Some programs use projected or documented Airbnb income; ask us for the current options.

Can I buy in an LLC?

Yes. The loan is made to the entity with you as guarantor.
