DSCR Loan

DSCR Loans: Smart Financing for Real Estate Investors

Are you a real estate investor looking to grow your portfolio without the hassle of traditional income documentation? A DSCR loan from Fast Home Path may be your ideal solution.

DSCR loans — short for Debt Service Coverage Ratio loans — are designed specifically for real estate investors. Instead of relying on your personal income, this loan focuses on the income generated by the property itself. That means faster approvals, fewer hurdles, and more opportunities to scale your investments.

 

 

What Is a DSCR Loan?

A DSCR loan is a type of real estate investment mortgage that qualifies you based on the cash flow of the property — not your job, W-2s, or tax returns.

The key metric? The Debt Service Coverage Ratio, which compares the property’s monthly rental income to its monthly mortgage payment.

Example:
If a property rents for $2,000 per month and the monthly mortgage payment is $1,500, the DSCR is 1.33 — which shows the income more than covers the debt.


Who Should Use a DSCR Loan?

DSCR loans are ideal for:

  • Real estate investors

  • Self-employed individuals

  • Borrowers with complex or fluctuating income

  • Investors building or expanding rental portfolios

  • Foreign nationals without U.S. income history

If you own or plan to purchase a rental property and want a low-doc, cash-flow-based loan, a DSCR program may be the smartest route.
