How It Works
DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio. It is the primary qualification metric for rental property loans that do not require personal income documentation.
The Formula
DSCR is calculated by dividing the property's gross monthly rental income by the total monthly debt service, which includes principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and HOA if applicable.
DSCR = Monthly Rent / Total PITIA
What the Numbers Mean
A DSCR above 1.0 means the property generates enough rent to cover its debt service. We require a minimum DSCR of 0.80, with better rates available at higher ratios.
1.25+: Qualifies, strong cash flow
0.80-1.24: Qualifies with compensating factors
Below 0.80: Does not meet minimum DSCR
What PITIA Includes
PITIA stands for Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance, and Association (HOA) dues. All recurring monthly obligations tied to the property are factored into the denominator of the DSCR calculation.
P: Monthly principal payment
I: Monthly interest payment
T: Property taxes (monthly)
I: Hazard and flood insurance
A: HOA dues, if applicable
