DSCR loan calculator
DSCR Loan in North Carolina: Calculator & Requirements
Start with the Charlotte index-based exercise: $381,392 as the price input (Zillow ZHVI, September 2026) and $1,735/month as the rent input (Zillow ZORI, September 2026). Both indices cover the same metro but different properties. They are not a paired home and rent, a median purchase, or a loan quote. Replace them with your property's price, supported rent and actual expenses.

Ways to improve this estimate
- ▸Reduce the modeled loan to about $181,323 (47.5% LTV) to reach DSCR 1.00. This means borrowing roughly $104,721 less.
- ▸Buying the rate down to about 3.4% (from 7.5%) would lift DSCR to 1.00 at the same loan size.
- ▸Rent would need to be about $2,467/mo ($732 above your input) to reach DSCR 1.00 — check comps and any rent-stress add-backs.
