DSCR loans for eligible Florida real estate investors.

A debt-service coverage ratio, or DSCR, compares qualifying property income with required debt obligations under a lender’s method. DSCR programs are generally designed for business-purpose investment properties and may reduce reliance on traditional personal income documentation, but they still require a complete review of the borrower, property, valuation, reserves and transaction.

These loans are commonly business-purpose loans and may include prepayment provisions or other terms different from consumer mortgages.
A property with insufficient qualifying cash flow may require a different structure, more equity or another program.
Property condition, marketability, rural location, condominium status and short-term rental use can affect eligibility.
