DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio. It measures whether a property's rent covers its mortgage payment.
Most lenders want a DSCR of 1.0 or higher. A ratio above 1.25 gets you better rates and easier approvals.
DSCR is a non-QM product. Most retail banks don't offer it. You need a broker with access to wholesale non-QM lenders.
At SRK CAPITAL, we work with 200+ wholesale lenders. Several specialize in DSCR deals across Orange County.
The most common mistake investors make is buying first and calling a broker second. Run your DSCR numbers before you make an offer.
Short-term rental income — like Airbnb — gets scrutinized hard. Most DSCR lenders want long-term lease comps, not projected STR revenue.
Bank statement loans qualify on business deposits — better for self-employed buyers buying a primary. DSCR is built for investment property only.
Hard money closes faster but carries higher rates and short terms. DSCR gives you 30-year amortization at more competitive pricing.
Placentia's proximity to Cal State Fullerton drives consistent tenant demand. That helps rental income stay stable — which directly supports your DSCR.
Orange County property taxes run around 1.1% of assessed value. Factor that into your cash flow model before you apply.
Most lenders require a 1.0 minimum. A ratio of 1.25 or above puts you in a stronger position for rate and terms.
Yes. Most DSCR lenders allow LLC vesting. This is one reason investors prefer DSCR over conventional investor loans.
No. DSCR lenders qualify the property, not you. No tax returns, no pay stubs, no employment verification required.
Yes. Lenders typically use a rent schedule from the appraisal. The appraiser determines market rent for qualifying purposes.
Expect 20-25% down on most DSCR deals. Some lenders go to 15% down with stronger credit and higher DSCR ratios.
Some lenders allow it, but most use long-term market rent to calculate DSCR. Check Placentia's STR permit rules first.
