Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) Loans

A DSCR loan is a type of mortgage primarily used by real estate investors, where Crebrid’s underwriters use the property’s income (not your personal income) to qualify you for the loan.

DSCR loans provide rental property owners the flexibility, speed, and efficiency to close and start earning ASAP.

A DSCR Loan Offers a Customized Mortgage for Your Unique Project

Instead of verifying W2s, tax returns, or pay stubs, we look at the history and potential of the property to verify you can generate enough rental income to meet the loan’s terms.

What Property Types Are Best for DSCR Loans?

Single family rentals

1-4 Units

Multi-family properties

5-10 Units

Condos & townhomes

10+ Units
