Real Estate Investment Financing in Texas
Debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) loans allow real estate investors to qualify for a mortgage based on a property’s cash flow rather than personal income. Instead of reviewing tax returns or pay stubs, we prioritize a property’s DSCR — which measures its income versus its debt obligations — to make a lending decision. This offers a flexible mortgage solution for real estate investors looking to build or expand their portfolio.
DSCR loans can be used to purchase or refinance long-term and short-term rental properties, with financing available for many different property types and no limit on the number of properties financed. Access up to $20 million in financing while enjoying a streamlined underwriting process with no income or employment verification.

Frequently Asked Questions
The minimum down payment for a DSCR loan in Texas is typically 15% of the property’s purchase price, though 20-25% is more common for investment properties. The exact amount depends on factors like your credit score, the property type, your DSCR ratio, and the lender’s specific requirements. A larger down payment can help you secure better interest rates and loan terms.
Getting a DSCR loan in Texas is not particularly difficult if you meet the basic requirements. The process is often easier than conventional financing because you don’t need to provide tax returns or employment verification. However, you’ll still need a minimum credit score of 620, a sufficient down payment, and a property with strong rental income potential. Working with a lender experienced in DSCR loans, like Griffin Funding, makes the process much smoother.
Like any financing option, there are Texas DSCR loan pros and cons to consider. The main advantages are no income verification and faster approvals, while the tradeoffs include higher interest rates and larger down payments. Working with an experienced lender like Griffin Funding helps you weigh these factors and determine if a DSCR loan is the right choice for your investment strategy.
Yes, first-time investors can absolutely qualify for DSCR loans in Texas as long as they meet the minimum requirements. You don’t need prior real estate investing experience — the loan is based on the property’s income potential, not your investment history. Griffin Funding works with first-time investors regularly and can guide you through the entire process.
Most lenders require a DSCR of 1.25 or higher, which shows that your rental income exceeds your debt obligations by 25%. However, Griffin Funding offers more flexible DSCR loan requirements in Texas and can work with ratios below 1.0 in certain situations. Keep in mind that lower DSCR ratios may require larger down payments, higher interest rates, or additional cash reserves.
