Debt Service Coverage Ratio Mortgage Loan
A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan is a non-QM mortgage that allows real estate investors to qualify for a rental property based on the building’s projected or actual income, rather than their personal tax returns or pay stubs.
Instead of calculating your personal debt-to-income (DTI) ratio, lenders evaluate the property’s income potential using the DSCR formula:

- PITIA includes Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance, and any applicable Association dues.
- A DSCR of 1.0 means the property breaks even (income exactly covers the mortgage).
