What Is a DSCR Loan?

For real estate investors, qualifying for financing shouldn't hinge on personal income documentation. DSCR loans from Munshi Capital Inc. are underwritten around the property's own cash flow, giving investors across the country a faster, more flexible path to funding rental properties and expanding their portfolio.

Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)

DSCR compares a property's gross rental income to its total debt obligations (principal, interest, taxes, and insurance). A ratio of 1.0 or higher means the property generates enough income to cover its own mortgage payment — the core metric we use to qualify your loan.

Cash-Flow Based Underwriting

Instead of evaluating W-2s, pay stubs, or tax returns, our underwriting looks at what the property itself earns. That makes DSCR loans a natural fit for self-employed investors and those building a portfolio of rental properties.

Built for Rental Portfolios

Whether you're financing a single rental or scaling a multi-unit portfolio, DSCR loans offer a repeatable, income-based qualification path that doesn't rely on your personal debt-to-income ratio.

Eligibility Criteria

Qualification & Loan Requirements

Our underwriting is built around the property, not your pay stubs. Here's what our team looks at when evaluating a DSCR loan request.

Minimum DSCR Ratio

Qualification is based on the property's cash flow rather than personal income. Most DSCR programs accept ratios as low as 1.0x, with select no-ratio options available for strong investor profiles.

  • Ratios as low as 1.0x considered
  • No personal income or tax returns required
  • No-ratio options available

Eligible Property Types & LTV Limits

Financing is available for single-family rentals, 2-4 unit properties, condos, and small multifamily assets, with loan-to-value limits structured around property performance and investor experience.

  • Single-family, 2-4 unit & condo eligible
  • LTV up to 80% on purchase
  • Cash-out and refinance options available

Down Payment & Reserves

Down payment requirements are structured around DSCR ratio, property type, and loan program, and most lenders will look for reserves to cover several months of mortgage payments.

  • Down payments typically 20-25%
  • Reserve requirements vary by program
  • No W-2s, pay stubs, or tax returns needed
