DSCR Loans for Real Estate Investors in Tennessee & California

At First Capital Mortgage, we specialize in Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loans to help real estate investors in Tennessee and California secure financing without traditional income verification. With a focus on property cash flow rather than personal income, DSCR loans are an ideal solution for growing your real estate portfolio.

What Is a DSCR Loan?

A DSCR loan is a type of mortgage designed specifically for real estate investors. Unlike conventional loans, DSCR loans assess the property’s income-generating potential rather than the borrower’s personal income. This makes them perfect for investors who want to simplify the approval process while focusing on the profitability of their investment properties.

Benefits of DSCR Loans

• No Personal Income Verification: Approval is based on the property’s cash flow, not your tax returns or W-2s.
• Fast Approval Process: Streamlined underwriting focused on property performance saves time.
• Flexibility: Suitable for a wide range of property types, including single-family rentals, multifamily units, and commercial properties.
• Leverage Your Investments: Use your current rental income to qualify for additional properties.
• Scalable Financing: Perfect for building a robust real estate portfolio with minimal financial documentation.

How DSCR Loans Work

DSCR loans evaluate the property’s debt service coverage ratio, which is calculated as:

DSCR = Monthly Rental Income ÷ Monthly Loan Payments

A DSCR of 1.0 means the property’s rental income covers the loan payments. Most lenders require a DSCR of 1.2 or higher to ensure profitability.

Eligibility for DSCR Loans

To qualify for a DSCR loan, you typically need:

• Property Cash Flow: Rental income must meet or exceed the lender’s DSCR requirement (e.g., 1.2).
• Credit Score: A minimum score of 640 is often required, but higher scores secure better terms.
• Down Payment: Expect to put down 20%-30% of the property’s purchase price.
• Experienced Management: Proven experience managing rental properties may strengthen your application.
