Start with the property and your investment plan

A debt-service coverage ratio, or DSCR, program generally compares a rental property's qualifying income with its required housing or debt payments. The calculation and acceptable ratio depend on the lender. Team Windes helps you review whether this approach may fit your California investment purchase or refinance.

Property cash flow

Lease income or an approved market-rent analysis may be part of the review. The lender determines which income and expenses count.

Your overall scenario

Credit, down payment or equity, reserves, property condition and investor experience can still matter. DSCR financing is not automatic approval.

The complete terms

Review rate structure, fees, any prepayment penalty, cash requirements and the repayment schedule before deciding.

Common DSCR questions

Can I use DSCR financing for my own home?

The DSCR options discussed here are for eligible investment properties and business-purpose scenarios. Tell us the intended occupancy so we can evaluate the appropriate program.

Does the property have to be rented already?

Requirements differ. Some lenders may consider an approved market-rent estimate, while others need an existing lease or additional history. We will review your property and the selected lender's rules.

Can you finance a two-, three- or four-unit property?

We work with properties up to four units, but DSCR eligibility depends on the particular lender and property. Let us review the address and unit configuration.
