Who Benefits from DSCR Loans
- Use DSCR loans if you're self-employed, proudly unemployed, or want to avoid heavy paperwork.
- They serve as backup options when conventional financing is unavailable or cumbersome.
Cash Reserves Key for Qualification
- Prepare significant cash reserves, often six months of mortgage payments, especially if owning multiple properties.
- Larger reserves broaden lender options and can reduce interest rates, as lenders view you as lower risk.
Credit Score Targets for DSCR
- Aim for a credit score of 660-680 to access the majority of DSCR lenders.
- Lower scores are possible but will come with higher interest rates and fewer options.
