INSIGHT

DSCR Loans Use Rental Income

  • This makes DSCR loans highly flexible, ideal for entrepreneurs, self-employed, or investors without traditional income proof.

Flexibility of DSCR vs Conventional

  • 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.
ADVICE

Who Benefits from DSCR Loans

  • Use DSCR loans if you're self-employed, proudly unemployed, or want to avoid heavy paperwork.
