Real estate investing is one of the most effective ways to build long-term wealth, and the right financing can help you grow your portfolio faster. Our DSCR Investor Loans are designed specifically for real estate investors who want a simpler path to financing rental properties.
Unlike traditional mortgages that focus heavily on personal income, DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans primarily evaluate the property's ability to generate income. This means you may be able to qualify based on rental cash flow rather than tax returns, W-2s, or extensive income documentation.
DSCR loans provide flexibility across a variety of investment property types, allowing investors to pursue opportunities that align with their goals.
Single-Family Residences (SFR)
Detached homes, townhomes, and similar residential investment properties.
Multi-Family Properties (2-4 Units)
Duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes that can generate multiple streams of rental income.
Condominiums
Many warrantable and non-warrantable condominium projects may qualify.
Short-Term & Vacation Rentals
Airbnb, VRBO, and other vacation rental properties may be eligible using projected or historical rental income.
Small Multi-Family Properties (5+ Units)
Certain DSCR programs can accommodate larger residential investment properties.
Mixed-Use Properties
Properties that combine residential and commercial space may qualify based on overall cash flow.
Planned Unit Developments (PUDs)
Investment properties located within planned communities are often eligible.
Investment Use Only
DSCR loans are intended for non-owner-occupied properties. The home cannot be used as your primary residence or second home.
Property Condition
The property should generally be in marketable condition and capable of supporting rental income.

Short-term rentals have become one of the fastest-growing segments of real estate investing. Whether you're purchasing an Airbnb, VRBO property, vacation rental, or expanding an existing portfolio, specialized STR financing can help you qualify based on the property's income potential rather than relying solely on traditional rental analysis.
Unlike conventional investment property loans, many STR loan programs recognize the unique income characteristics of vacation rentals and may use projected revenue data to help investors qualify.
Because short-term rental income can fluctuate throughout the year, many lenders apply an income adjustment—often referred to as a "haircut"—to projected gross revenue. This reduction helps account for seasonality, vacancies, platform fees, and operating expenses before calculating the final Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR).
This approach allows lenders to evaluate the property's ability to support the loan while still recognizing the higher income potential many STR properties can generate.
Whether you're purchasing your first Airbnb property or scaling a portfolio of vacation rentals, our team can help you explore financing options designed specifically for short-term rental investors.
