This is an educational estimate, not a loan offer, pre-approval, or commitment to lend. Providers determine rates, terms, eligibility, transaction classification, and applicable requirements. Not financial, legal, or tax advice.
Transparent estimate
The meter uses the same displayed inputs and formula throughout: gross monthly rent divided by estimated PITIA.
Published ranges
Program information is presented as an indicative range, never as a personalized rate quote or commitment.

Program cards compare only the listed DSCR, loan-size, state, and property-type criteria. Provider underwriting controls.
Lender match
How matching works
Once your deal is modeled, we compare its estimated DSCR, loan size, selected state, and property type with criteria in our program directory. The result is not underwriting, an approval, or a personalized rate quote. Any compensation relationship is disclosed separately.

FAQ
DSCR loan FAQ
What is a DSCR loan?+
A DSCR (debt service coverage ratio) loan is commonly used for non-owner-occupied investment property. Providers generally compare the property's rental income with PITIA (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and HOA), while also applying their own credit, reserve, property, and documentation rules.
How do I know if I qualify for a DSCR loan?+
Use the calculator to estimate where the property's rent falls relative to PITIA. A ratio of 1.00 means estimated rent equals estimated PITIA, and 1.25 provides more coverage. The ratio alone does not determine eligibility; each provider performs its own underwriting.
Do DSCR loans require proof of income?+
Many DSCR programs do not use personal W-2 income or tax returns as the primary qualification test. Providers can still require credit, reserves, identity, entity, lease, appraisal, insurance, and other documentation.
What DSCR ratio do lenders want?+
Published program thresholds often begin around 1.00, with some providers advertising different treatment above 1.20 or 1.25. Minimum ratios, pricing, compensating factors, and no-ratio options vary by provider and can change.
Is a DSCR loan a consumer mortgage?+
DSCR programs are commonly intended for non-owner-occupied, business-purpose investment financing. The legal classification and laws that apply depend on the facts of the transaction and the provider's determination. DSCRDealCheck does not make that legal determination.
