DSCR Loans for Real Estate Investors

Finance rental properties based on cash flow, not your personal tax returns. Parish Lending helps you use the property’s income to qualify.

Check DSCR Loan Eligibility

Answer a few quick questions and we’ll confirm if a DSCR loan is right for your rental property purchase or refinance.

What Is DSCR?

DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio. It measures whether a property’s rental income can cover its mortgage payment (including principal, interest, taxes, and insurance).

  • A DSCR of 1.0 means rent equals payment (break-even).
  • Most lenders prefer DSCR > 1.0 for safety.
  • Example: $2,000 rent ÷ $1,800 payment = DSCR of 1.11.

Why Investors Love DSCR Loans

  • Cash Flow Focus: Approval is based on rent, not W-2s or tax returns.
  • Simple Paperwork: Show a lease agreement or rental schedule, not years of returns.
  • Flexible Borrowing: Finance properties as long as projected rent covers the payment.
