DSCR qualification is simple: the rent must cover the mortgage. Most lenders want a DSCR of 1.0 or higher — meaning rent equals or exceeds the full payment.
Credit requirements typically start at 620. Expect 20-25% down on most investment properties.
DSCR is a non-QM product. Most retail banks won't touch it. You need wholesale lenders who actually specialize in investor loans.
Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions. As of April 2026, spreads between lenders on DSCR products run wide — shopping matters.
The number that makes or breaks your DSCR deal is the appraiser's rent schedule. A low rent estimate can kill approval even on a solid property.
Short-term rental income is trickier. Some lenders accept Airbnb income via market rent surveys. Others won't touch it. Know which lender fits before you apply.
Conventional investor loans cap at 10 financed properties and require full income documentation. DSCR has neither of those restrictions.
Hard money loans close fast but carry high rates and short terms. DSCR gives you a 30-year fixed option — real long-term hold financing.
Yucaipa's rental market draws commuters priced out of closer-in IE cities. That tenant pool supports consistent occupancy for buy-and-hold investors.
San Bernardino County has no local transfer tax beyond state minimums. Lower acquisition costs help your DSCR math from day one.
Most lenders require a 1.0 DSCR minimum — rent covers the full payment. Some allow below 1.0 with a larger down payment.
No. DSCR loans qualify on the property's rental income, not yours. Tax returns are not required.
Yes. Lenders use the appraiser's market rent estimate. The property doesn't need to be currently rented.
There's no set cap. Unlike conventional loans, DSCR lenders don't limit you to 10 financed properties.
Yes. DSCR cash-out refinances are available. You can pull equity from existing rentals without income documentation.
Some lenders accept short-term rental income using market surveys. Others require long-term lease comparables. Lender selection is key.
