Frequently Asked Questions

Does a DSCR loan really require no income verification?

Yes — no personal income verification. No W-2, no tax returns, no pay stubs, no personal DTI calculation. The loan qualifies on the property’s rental income relative to its mortgage payment.

What documents do I actually need for a DSCR loan?

Credit authorization, property appraisal with rent schedule, bank statements showing down payment and reserves, government-issued ID, and the executed purchase contract. If purchasing in an LLC, entity documents are also required.

Do I need to show where my down payment came from for a DSCR loan?

Yes. DSCR loans require sourcing of down payment funds. Bank statements for the most recent 2 months showing the funds are available. Large recent deposits may require documentation of their source. Funds in place for 60+ days are generally straightforward.

Can I use a DSCR loan if I have no rental income history?

Yes. For purchase transactions, the rental income is established by a licensed appraiser’s rent schedule — not by your rental history. The appraiser estimates market rent based on comparable rentals in the area.
