DSCR Loans

DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans are one of the most popular financing options for real estate investors because they focus primarily on the property's ability to generate income rather than the borrower's personal income. If you're building a rental portfolio, purchasing investment property through an LLC, or expanding into short-term rentals, a DSCR loan may provide a flexible alternative to traditional residential mortgages.

AtMedex PMC LLC, we help investors connect with lenders offering DSCR loans for single-family rentals, multifamily properties, vacation rentals, and other income-producing real estate. Rather than working with a single bank, we compare multiple lending programs to help find financing that fits your investment strategy.

Our mission is simple:

Find It. Fund It. Close It.


What Is a DSCR Loan?

DSCR stands forDebt Service Coverage Ratio.

Instead of qualifying primarily on your employment income or tax returns, many DSCR lenders focus on whether the property's rental income is sufficient to cover the proposed mortgage payment.

In simple terms:

If the property produces enough rental income to pay the mortgage and related expenses, it may qualify for financing.

This makes DSCR loans attractive for investors who own multiple properties, operate through LLCs, or have income that may not fit traditional mortgage underwriting guidelines.


How Does a DSCR Loan Work?

Lenders calculate a property's Debt Service Coverage Ratio by comparing the property's expected rental income with its monthly debt obligations.

A higher DSCR generally indicates stronger cash flow.

For example:

  • Monthly Rental Income:$2,000

  • Monthly Mortgage Payment:$1,500

Because the property generates more income than the debt payment, it may meet the lender's minimum DSCR requirement, depending on the program.

Each lender has its own underwriting standards, and acceptable ratios vary.

  • Rental property investors
