Lenders calculate your DSCR by dividing monthly rent by monthly mortgage payment. A ratio of 1.0 means rent covers the payment exactly.
Most lenders want a DSCR of 1.0 or higher. Some programs allow ratios below 1.0 with a larger down payment or stronger credit.
DSCR loans are non-QM products. That means banks and credit unions rarely offer them. You need wholesale lenders who specialize in investor deals.
At SRK CAPITAL, we shop DSCR programs across 200+ wholesale lenders. Rates and terms vary significantly between lenders. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
The biggest mistake I see on DSCR deals: investors use current rent instead of market rent. Lenders use an appraisal's rent schedule, not your lease.
If your property rents below market, that kills your ratio. Before you apply, know what a comparable unit actually rents for in Turlock.
Hard money loans are faster but expensive — short terms, high rates. DSCR loans offer 30-year fixed options and real hold-period financing.
Bank statement loans look at your deposits. DSCR loans ignore your income entirely. For investors with complex taxes, DSCR is usually the cleaner path.
Turlock's rental market is driven by Cal State Stanislaus students and ag-sector workers. Both groups create consistent tenant demand year-round.
Multi-unit properties in Turlock can be strong DSCR candidates. More doors means more combined rent to support your ratio.
Most lenders want 1.0 or above. Some allow below 1.0 with 25-30% down and stronger credit.
Yes. Lenders use the appraiser's market rent schedule. The property doesn't need to be occupied at closing.
The inquiry and loan typically report to personal credit. But LLC ownership is allowed by many DSCR lenders.
Some lenders allow it using Airbnb or VRBO income history. Not all DSCR programs accept short-term rental income.
Conventional loans cap at 10 financed properties and require personal income docs. DSCR loans skip both restrictions.
Single-family, 2-4 unit, and some 5+ unit properties qualify. Condos are allowed by select lenders with restrictions.
