How the math works

Two numbers. One ratio. No tax returns.

A DSCR loan qualifies the property's cash flow, not your personal income. Mbanc divides gross monthly rent by total PITIA — Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance, and HOA. That ratio is your DSCR. A ratio of 1.00 means rent exactly covers the carrying cost; above 1.00 means cash flow.

01

The formula · Rent ÷ PITIA DSCR

Take gross monthly rent. Divide by total monthly PITIA (Principal & Interest at the qualifying rate plus monthly Taxes, Insurance, and HOA dues). The result is your DSCR. That's the entire qualifying calculation — your personal income, employment, and tax return don't enter the math.

Example: $3,500 rent ÷ $3,294 PITIA = 1.06 DSCR — clears Mbanc's 1.00 minimum with positive cash flow.

DSCR = Gross monthly rent ÷ (P&I + Taxes + Insurance + HOA)

The qualifying tiers

Mbanc's standard DSCR program minimum is 1.00. DSCR-light files between 0.75 and 0.99 may qualify with a 5-point LTV reduction. Files at 1.25+ get the best pricing tier. Short-term rentals carry a 5-point LTV reduction across the board.

Built for investors

If the rent covers the mortgage, we lend.

A DSCR loan is for real-estate investors. Personal income doesn't matter. What matters is whether the property pays for itself.

Plain-English explainer

What a DSCR loan actually is.

A DSCR loan is an investment property mortgage that qualifies the property itself instead of you. The acronym stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio — the ratio of the property's gross monthly rent to its monthly debt service (PITIA). If the rent covers the carrying cost, the property qualifies. Your personal income, your DTI, your tax returns, your W-2 — none of it enters the equation.

This is the workhorse loan for the modern real-estate investor. It exists because conventional financing was never built for someone who owns five or fifteen rental properties. By the time an investor has stabilized a small portfolio, their personal DTI is too tight for any conventional bank to read — even though each property is cash-flow positive. DSCR financing solves that exact problem: each property is qualified on its own merits.

"A serious investor doesn't have a personal income problem. They have a documentation-shape problem. DSCR fixes that — we underwrite the asset, the way the asset was always supposed to be underwritten."

— Mayer Dallal, Managing Director, Mbanc

What makes DSCR loans different from conventional rental financing:

  • No personal income documentation. No tax returns, no W-2s, no pay stubs, no DTI calculation. Just the rent and the carrying cost.
  • LLC ownership is standard. Title the property in your LLC, LP, or trust. Personal guarantees from members are typical, but the entity is the borrower.
  • Unlimited financed properties. Conventional financing caps you at 10 financed properties. DSCR has no such limit — qualify as many as cash flow.
  • Foreign nationals welcome. No US tax history required. Adjusted LTV applies, but the program is open.
  • Short-term rentals count. Airbnb, VRBO, vacation rental income — eligible with a 5-point LTV reduction.

The three numbers that determine your DSCR qualification:

  • Gross monthly rent — what the property actually rents for, or what a market-rent appraisal supports on a vacant unit. This is the top of the DSCR fraction.
  • Monthly PITIA — the sum of Principal & Interest at the qualifying rate, plus monthly Taxes, Insurance, and HOA. This is the bottom of the DSCR fraction.
  • LTV cap by credit and product — at 720+ FICO, Mbanc lends up to 80% LTV on DSCR purchase, with overlays for short-term rentals and DSCR-light files.

About the 8% rate this calculator uses. Non-QM rates move with broader market conditions. Rather than show a rate that may be stale next week, this calculator uses a flat 8% assumption — conservative enough that your real rate, determined at full underwriting, is typically lower. A lower actual rate produces a lower P&I, which raises DSCR. If your DSCR clears 1.00 at 8%, you have headroom at the rate you'll actually get.

A DSCR loan is an investment property mortgage that qualifies the property's rental cash flow rather than the borrower's personal income. DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio — gross monthly rent divided by PITIA (Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance, and HOA). DSCR loans don't require W-2s, tax returns, or pay stubs. They're the workhorse loan for real-estate investors, BRRRR practitioners, LLC-titled portfolios, and short-term rental owners.
DSCR equals gross monthly rent divided by monthly PITIA. PITIA is the sum of Principal and Interest on the mortgage at the qualifying rate, plus monthly Taxes, Insurance, and HOA dues. For example, a property renting for $3,500 per month with PITIA of $3,000 has a DSCR of 3,500 ÷ 3,000 = 1.17, meaning rent exceeds the carrying cost by 17%.
Mbanc's standard DSCR program minimum is 1.00 — rent exactly covers PITIA. DSCR-light files between 0.75 and 0.99 may qualify with a 5-percentage-point LTV reduction. Files at 1.25 and above receive the best pricing tier. Below 0.75, the property typically requires a larger down payment to bring DSCR up to qualification — which a Principal Banker can structure.
Yes. DSCR loans are designed for LLC, LP, and trust ownership structures — that's a major reason real-estate investors prefer them over conventional loans. The borrower is the entity, not an individual, though personal guarantees from members are typically required. Mbanc also accepts foreign national borrowers on DSCR with adjusted LTV.
No. DSCR loans qualify the property on its own cash flow. Your personal income, employment status, debt-to-income ratio, and tax returns are not part of the calculation. This is what makes DSCR loans the standard for full-time investors, self-employed borrowers with strong portfolios, and anyone whose conventional DTI gets tight from carrying multiple financed properties.
Up to $3 million on Mbanc's core Non-QM DSCR program. Larger loan amounts are available via portfolio quote — Mbanc can structure DSCR loans up to $5 million and beyond for qualified borrowers and assets. Talk to a Principal Banker for above-program scenarios.
Yes. Mbanc accepts short-term rental properties on the DSCR program, with a 5-percentage-point LTV reduction versus long-term rentals. Income can be documented from a recent operating history (12+ months on the same platform) or from a market-rent appraisal. Properties with seasonal income can use trailing 12-month gross rents to normalize the DSCR calculation.
DSCR between 0.75 and 0.99 qualifies under DSCR-light overlays with a 5-percentage-point LTV reduction. Below 0.75 typically requires a larger down payment to bring the loan size down (and DSCR up) to qualification. A Principal Banker can also explore: market-rent appraisal if your current rent is below market, cash-out refi structure, or a different product. The 8% rate in this calculator is conservative — your actual rate is often lower, which raises DSCR organically.
