DSCR Home Loans: Key Things Investors Should Know
How do lenders determine qualifying income for a DSCR loan?
DSCR loans are qualified using the property’s cash flow—not your personal income. Lenders typically compare the property’s gross rental income (from a lease, appraisal rent schedule, or market rent) against the full monthly housing expense (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and HOA). If the property meets the required DSCR ratio, personal DTI is often not considered.
Can I close a DSCR loan in an LLC or business entity?
Yes. Most DSCR loan programs allow properties to be titled in an LLC or other business entity, which is ideal for investors focused on asset protection and portfolio growth. While you’ll usually sign personally as a guarantor, income documentation remains minimal compared to conventional loans.
What credit, down payment, and reserve requirements should investors expect?
DSCR loans typically require higher credit scores and down payments than owner-occupied loans. Most programs expect a minimum credit score around the mid-600s, 20–25% down for purchases, and several months of reserves. Exact terms vary by DSCR ratio, property type, and market strength.

GOOD Based on 48 reviews Posted on M. C.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We could not be happier with our experience working with Lone Star – Texas Mortgage Lender, Brett Dempsey, and his team. As first-time homebuyers, we were nervous about the process, but Brett and his staff guided us every step of the way with patience, friendliness, and clear communication. They moved swiftly to secure everything we needed, kept us updated at each stage, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The rates they secured for us were excellent, the service was absolutely top-notch, and the team’s professionalism gave us complete confidence from start to finish. On top of that, Brett and his team were genuinely friendly and approachable, which made the experience all the more enjoyable. We are grateful for their dedication and couldn’t recommend them more highly. If you’re looking for a lender that combines expertise, efficiency, and personal service, Brett Dempsey and his team at Lone Star are the perfect choice. -The Carter FamilyPosted on Kevin MartinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've worked with Chris Lederer for well over a decade. He's always made the loan process seamless and goes the extra mile for his clients. His approach, service, and dedication to his clients makes you feel like you've known him your entire life. He's been able to coach myself and other people I know through the loan process and also help them with credit advice or referrals to fix credit for people that don't instantly qualify. I highly recommend working with Chris; you won't be sorry.Posted on Mandy DicktenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don’t ever writes reviews, but working with James honestly made the homebuying process way easier than I expected. He explained everything clearly, stayed on top of every detail, and somehow kept things calm even when the stress hit. I never felt lost or in the dark — and that’s saying a lot. What stood out most was how real he is. No fluff, no pressure, just straight-up support from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone who actually listens and doesn’t treat you like a number, James is the one to go to. Highly recommend him to anyone serious about buying a home — especially if you want someone in your corner who actually cares.Posted on Gary LarsenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Thank you James your a rock starPosted on Josie SolisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had to this time. Long story short—Brett Dempsey was AWESOME. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions and uncertainty, but Brett was incredibly professional, kind, and helpful throughout the entire process. His communication was excellent—always prompt, clear, and patient, which made a huge difference for me. After a terrible experience with another lender at New American Funding, Brett turned everything around. He not only got us into our home, but also saved us a lot of money. He and his team truly exceeded our expectations. We’re so thankful!Posted on TommyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shawn D. and the team at Lone Star Financing are the best mortgage professionals you could ask for. Shawn was able to help us get a mortgage when no other lenders could, due to our unique circumstances. He is responsive, knowledgeable, and has the highest integrity. He didn't just help us get a house he re united my family. Thank you for all your hard work Shawn.
