What is an Investor Loan Program (DSCR)?
An Investor Loan Program, specifically a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan, is a type of loan used by real estate investors to finance the purchase of investment properties. The DSCR measures the property's ability to cover its debt obligations, such as mortgage payments, taxes, and insurance. Generally speaking, most lenders require a DSCR between 1 and 1.5 to qualify for a DSCR loan, with the most common minimum requirement being a DSCR of 1.25. We go as low as zero!

Investor Loan (DSCR) rates can vary depending on several factors, including the borrower's credit score, loan-to-value ratio, loan amount, and current market conditions.
