Is it harder to get approved for a DSCR loan as an investor?
Not with our investor-focused DSCR programs. Instead of verifying personal income, we qualify you on the rental income potential of the property itself — no W-2s or tax returns needed. With a 680+ credit score and 20-25% down, you land in our preferred tier for the most competitive terms.
What credit score do I need for a DSCR loan?
A 680+ score positions you for our best pricing and most flexible terms. Above 720 unlocks our lowest rates. Our DSCR programs go down to 620, but 680 and up is the optimal range for investment-property financing.
What down payment is required?
For qualified investors, DSCR down payments start at 20%. Refinances typically call for around 25% equity to access the strongest rates. Higher down payments than a primary residence are standard, but rental-income qualification makes it worthwhile.
How long does approval take?
Because we skip heavy income documentation, DSCR loans typically close in 7-21 days. Pre-approval often comes within 48 hours once we have your credit report and basic property details — an edge worth having when you're making offers.
Can I qualify without showing personal income?
Yes — that's the core advantage. We look at the debt service coverage ratio: whether the property's rental income covers the mortgage, taxes, and insurance. No pay stubs or employment verification. We simply need an appraisal or rent roll to confirm the property meets our minimum DSCR (usually 1.0 to 1.25 depending on the program).
