Debt Service Coverage Ratio Loans

DSCR Loans Qualify Based on Property Income, Not Your Tax Returns

Built for Real Estate Investors. No W-2s. No Tax Returns. No Personal Income Verification.

If you're a real estate investor with strong rental property income but complex personal finances, a DSCR loan is the smartest financing tool available. At Onyx Capital Lending, we've funded over $300 million in investor loans — and DSCR is one of our most powerful programs.


What Is a DSCR Loan?

A Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan qualifies you based on the income the property generates — not your personal tax returns, W-2s, or employment history.

The formula is simple:

DSCR = Monthly Rental Income ÷ Monthly Debt Payment

A DSCR of 1.0 means the property pays for itself. A DSCR above 1.0 means it generates profit on top of the mortgage — and that's all we need to approve your loan.


Who Is a DSCR Loan For?

✅ Real estate investors with multiple properties

✅ Self-employed borrowers with write-offs that reduce taxable income

✅ Investors who can't show "traditional" income on paper

✅ Foreign nationals investing in US real estate

✅ Borrowers who have been turned down by conventional lenders

✅ Anyone scaling a rental portfolio quickly

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use projected rental income if the property is vacant?
Yes — we can use market rent from a licensed appraiser's rent schedule if the property is not currently leased.

Can I hold the property in an LLC?
Absolutely. We lend to LLCs, LPs, and corporations. In fact, we encourage it for liability protection.

What credit score do I need?
Most DSCR programs start at a 620 credit score...
