DSCR - NON QM Loans

Leverage cash-flow strength, qualify without personal income and grow your real-estate portfolio with confidence

DSCR Loans

Real estate investors today want flexibility, speed and financing built around the performance of the property, not endless paperwork about personal income. At Pulse Mortgage Lending, our DSCR Loan programs are designed exactly for that purpose.

A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan allows investors to qualify based on rental income potential rather than traditional income documentation. It’s one of the most efficient ways to acquire or refinance investment properties while keeping your personal finances separate, predictable and stress-free.

What Is a DSCR Loan?

A DSCR loan is a mortgage focused on investments, with qualification based on the rental income generated by the property. Instead of verifying your W-2s, bank statements or tax returns, lenders evaluate whether the rent can cover the mortgage payment, also known as the Debt Service Coverage Ratio.

  • DSCR = Rental Income ÷ Mortgage Payment

A DSCR of 1.0 or higher typically meets the minimum qualification threshold. The stronger the DSCR, the more favorable the terms.

Key Features of Our DSCR Loan Program

1. No personal income documentation

Your approval is driven by the property’s rental performance, not your tax returns or personal employment history.

2. Perfect for long-term rentals and short-term rentals 

Whether you’re building a traditional rental portfolio or entering the short-term rental market, DSCR loans offer versatile solutions.

3. 25% Down Payment for Stronger Leverage

Most DSCR programs require minimum 25% down, resulting in 75% LTV financing.

This structure helps investors:

  • Secure better pricing
  • Keep monthly payments manageable
  • Maintain a healthier cash-flow buffer

4. Flexible property types

Single-family homes, 2–4 unit properties, condos, townhomes and many short-term rental-eligible homes may qualify.

5. Close faster than conventional loans

With fewer documents and streamlined underwriting, investors can move quickly when opportunities arise.

Benefits of DSCR Loans

1. Qualify Based on Property Strength

No W-2s, no paystubs, no employer calls. Approval focuses on the rental income and DSCR ratio, making it ideal for self-employed investors, retirees, business owners and anyone who prefers asset-based qualification.

2. Build or Scale Your Portfolio Faster

With flexible documentation and faster closings, you can acquire more properties in less time, a major advantage in competitive markets.

3. Maintain Personal Financial Privacy

Your personal income stays out of the equation, giving you cleaner books and a stronger separation between your business and household finances.

4. Strong Cash-Flow Structures

The required 25% down / 75% LTV helps investors manage risk while maximizing long-term rental performance and stability.

5. Ideal for Rising-Income Markets

If rents are trending upward in your area, a DSCR loan helps you capitalize on improving cash flow without waiting for your own income to catch up.

At Pulse Mortgage Lending, we take the time to evaluate your goals and help you choose the right DSCR structure based on the property type, market performance and rental projections.
