DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio. It compares the property's monthly rent to its mortgage payment. A ratio of 1.0 means rent covers the mortgage exactly.
Most lenders want a DSCR of 1.0 or higher. Some programs go down to 0.75 if you bring a larger down payment. Credit score minimums typically start at 620.
DSCR is a non-QM product. That means traditional banks rarely offer it. You need wholesale lenders who specialize in investor financing.
SRK CAPITAL works with 200+ wholesale lenders. We find which ones price DSCR loans competitively for San Bernardino County properties specifically.
The most common mistake I see: investors use projected rent instead of market rent. Lenders want a current lease or a third-party rent appraisal. Get that document early.
Grand Terrace properties near the 215 freeway tend to lease fast. Faster leasing means fewer vacancy gaps, which makes your DSCR story cleaner to underwrite.
Hard money loans close faster but carry higher rates and short terms. DSCR loans give you a 30-year fixed option, which protects your cash flow long-term.
Bank statement loans look at your personal deposits. DSCR loans skip that entirely. If the property cash-flows, the deal can work regardless of your tax returns.
San Bernardino County has no local transfer tax beyond the state baseline. That keeps acquisition costs lower than LA or Orange County deals.
Grand Terrace is a small, stable city. Tenant turnover tends to be lower than larger adjacent markets. That consistency helps DSCR ratios hold over time.
No. DSCR loans qualify you based on the rental property's income. Your W-2s and tax returns stay out of it.
Most lenders want 1.0 or above. Some go lower, down to 0.75, with a larger down payment and stronger credit.
Yes. Most DSCR lenders allow LLC vesting. It's one of the reasons investors prefer this product over conventional financing.
Expect 20-25% down for most programs. Some lenders require more depending on your credit score and DSCR ratio.
Some lenders allow it using Airbnb income data. Not all do — you need a lender with a specific short-term rental program.
Typically 21-30 days. Faster than conventional in many cases, since there's no personal income verification to slow things down.
