How Real Estate Investors Use DSCR Loans to Scale a Rental Portfolio Without W-2 Income
A DSCR loan qualifies an investor based on what a rental property earns, not what the investor earns personally. There are no W-2s, no tax returns, and no personal DTI calculation. Lenders divide the property's net operating income by the monthly debt payment to get the DSCR ratio. A ratio of 1.0 or higher typically qualifies. This makes DSCR the primary financing tool for real estate investors who are self-employed, have complex income, or have hit the 10-property limit on conventional financing.
