What is DSCR?

DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio. It measures whether a rental property's income covers its debt payments.

The Formula

Monthly Rent / Total Monthly Payment

Total monthly payment includes principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and HOA. If rent is $2,400 and total payment is $2,000, your DSCR is 1.20x.

1.0x or Higher

Most Programs Require 1.0x

A 1.0x ratio means rent exactly covers the payment. Most DSCR lenders want at least 1.0x; some go as low as 0.75x with larger down payments.

Best Rates at 1.25x+

Higher DSCR = Better Pricing

The higher your DSCR ratio, the better your interest rate. Properties with 1.25x or above typically qualify for the best available pricing.
