Episode notes
DSCR Loans Use Rental Income
- DSCR loans qualify borrowers based on property rental income, not personal income or traditional documentation like W-2s or tax returns.
- This makes DSCR loans highly flexible, ideal for entrepreneurs, self-employed, or investors without traditional income proof.
Flexibility of DSCR vs Conventional
- Conventional loans follow strict national guidelines with little flexibility; DSCR loans offer varied lender-specific rules.
- You don't need to qualify based on your personal debt or income but rather on the property's income, opening access to many more investors.
Who Benefits from DSCR Loans
- Use DSCR loans if you're self-employed, proudly unemployed, or want to avoid heavy paperwork.
- They serve as backup options when conventional financing is unavailable or cumbersome.
