How to read it

What lenders count and what they do not

DSCR divides the property's income by its debt service. Most programs want 1.10x or better, meaning rent covers the payment with roughly 10% to spare. Some lenders will go to 1.00x, or lower, with a larger down payment and stronger credit.

Include taxes, insurance and HOA in the payment if your lender uses PITIA — most do. Management fees and maintenance reserves are sometimes excluded, which is why two lenders can compute different ratios from identical numbers.

The reason investors use DSCR at all: no tax returns, no W-2s, no debt-to-income calculation. Heavy depreciation on your Schedule E stops being a problem, and portfolio growth stops being capped by personal income.

Tool questions

What people ask about this.

1.10x is the common threshold. Below 1.00x is possible on some programs with more down payment and reserves, but pricing steps up quickly.
Some lenders do, usually using a 12-month history or a market data report. Expect a more conservative haircut than on a long-term lease.
No. The property qualifies. Lenders will verify credit, reserves and the lease or market rent, but personal income documentation is not part of it.
