Real Estate Investment Financing in Rhode Island
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
Qualification requirements vary by lender. However, the most significant metric lenders use to determine eligibility is the debt service coverage ratio. Most lenders like to see a DSCR above 1 because this number indicates your property generates enough income to cover its debt obligations while also leaving you with enough of a buffer to cover unexpected costs associated with a rental property.
Your lender will also ask for documentation, which may include rent rolls, lease agreements, property tax assessments, insurance, and other documents that can prove the property’s income and expenses. If the property isn’t currently being rented, we’ll determine the fair market rent to determine your DSCR.
Additionally, even though the primary focus is on the property’s rental income, lenders will still conduct a credit check to ensure your financial responsibility. Griffin Funding allows for credit scores as low as 620. However, keep in mind that the lower your DSCR and credit score, the less favorable your terms may be, which means potentially higher DSCR loan down payment requirements and interest rates.
Lenders typically like to see a ratio of 1.2 or higher to be eligible for a DSCR business purpose loan in Rhode Island. This number indicates that the property generates more than enough income to cover its mortgage payments. The higher the DSCR, the more comfortable lenders are with the perceived risk.
A DSCR below 1 indicates that the property’s rental income doesn’t generate enough income to cover its debt obligations, which may indicate a high risk of default. Like Griffin Funding, some DSCR lenders in Rhode Island may still accept lower DSCRs. However, they implement certain safeguards to mitigate risks, such as higher interest rates.
How long it takes to get a DSCR business loan in Rhode Island varies based on various factors, such as the lender’s processes, the complexity of the loan request, and how quickly the borrower provides the necessary documentation.
Griffin Funding will help streamline the process as much as possible and aim to complete the loan process in 30 days or less.
