Real Estate Investment Financing in North Carolina
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
DSCR is calculated by taking your gross rental income and dividing that number by the total mortgage payment (the principal plus interest, taxes, and insurance).
For example, if your property generates $100,000 in rental income and has $80,000 in debt service, your DSCR would be 1.25.
To qualify for a DSCR loan, you must be prepared to put at least 15% down. Some lenders require a higher down payment amount of 25%, but the general range is 20-25%. You’ll also pay lender and service fees, which may be as high as 3% of the total loan amount.
Interest rates for DSCR loans in North Carolina are typically higher than those for conventional loans because they involve more risk and use alternative qualification methods.
Your exact rate will depend on factors such as:
- Your credit score
- The property’s DSCR
- Pre-payment penalty type
- Loan amount
- Current market conditions
While they may cost more upfront, DSCR loans offer greater flexibility for real estate investors and serve as a great tool for starting or expanding an investment portfolio.
