What Is a DSCR Loan?

DSCR loans, also known as no-income mortgage loans, are a type of business loan that allow investors to qualify for a loan without income verification through the form of tax returns or pay stubs.

These non-QM mortgages help investors avoid high-interest rates, a lengthy approval process, and stringent lending requirements that can prevent you from obtaining a home loan for your next investment property. With a DSCR loan in Ohio, you qualify for a mortgage loan based on cash flow instead of income.

How Does a DSCR Loan Work in Ohio?

DSCR lenders in Ohio use an investor’s debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) to determine whether they qualify for the loan. Lenders find a borrower’s DSCR by dividing gross rent by their debts. Unlike traditional loan programs, DSCR business loans are designed solely for real estate investors who want to qualify for an investment loan without using tax returns.

Real estate investors may not qualify for another type of loan based on their net income because they deduct expenses on their tax returns. However, a DSCR loan does not take that type of income into account; instead, it focuses on cash flow. As a result, DSCR lenders can easily identify whether or not a borrower can repay the loan, allowing quicker closing times and a streamlined application process.

How Do You Apply for an Ohio DSCR Loan?

Griffin Funding makes it simple to apply for an Ohio DSCR loan. Getting approved depends on a borrower’s property income instead of their personal income, requiring us to verify certain information about the property instead of the borrower.

Requirements for a DSCR Loan in Ohio

To qualify for an Ohio DSCR loan, you will need a DSCR of at least 1.0, but this requirement varies by lender. For example, Griffin Funding allows a DSCR as low as 0.75, but the lower your DSCR, the more you will pay in interest, so we recommend having a ratio as close to 1.0 as possible. Having a DSCR of 1.0 indicates that your income is equal to your debt; ultimately, it means you have the ability to repay the loan.

DSCR loans require a minimum down payment, credit score, and appraisal to determine the loan value. Unlike traditional home loans, we will not need to verify your income. However, we will need to learn about the property to determine its potential income and calculate your DSCR.
