DSCR Loan in California: Calculator & Requirements
Run the numbers on a California rental property in seconds. The calculator below is pre-filled with typical California property-tax (~0.71%) and insurance assumptions, computes your estimated DSCR, and compares selected inputs with published investor-lender program criteria. Providers apply their own credit, reserve, documentation, property, and underwriting rules.

Published criteria, not an approval.These are the program criteria we track, as each lender publishes them. Nothing here has been screened against a deal yet. Edit the example assumptions and select the property state to see which programs fit your numbers — and note that credit, reserves, appraisal, title, documentation, and provider underwriting are never checked here.
Screen these against your deal ↑Wide DSCR box that will look at ratios as low as 0.75 with compensating factors; a good backstop for marginal deals that other lenders decline.
