DSCR Loans in Redlands
Can I qualify for a DSCR loan if I'm self-employed?
Yes. DSCR doesn't verify personal W-2 income at all. The property's rent and the loan payment are what matter.

02
DSCR loans qualify an investment property on its own rental income, not your W-2s. The property's debt-to-income ratio—what rent covers versus what the loan costs—is what matters most.
For an investment property, you need a minimum 700 representative credit score. A maximum 80 percent loan-to-value ratio and a minimum of 6 months in reserves also apply.

San Bernardino County's median household income is $82,184. DSCR doesn't care about that number—it cares about what the property earns.
