Question 1

What is a DSCR loan?

Accepted Answer

DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio. The lender qualifies the loan based on rental income, not your W-2 or tax returns.

Can I use rental projections to qualify?

Some lenders accept an appraiser's rent schedule for new purchases. Others want a signed lease. We'll match you to the right program.

How much do I need to put down in American Canyon?

Accepted Answer

Most investor loan programs require 20–25% down. Higher leverage options exist but typically require stronger credit and cash reserves.

Can I finance multiple properties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many DSCR lenders have no limit on financed properties. This is one reason investors prefer this product over conventional financing.

Question 5

Are short-term rentals eligible for DSCR loans in American Canyon?
