What is DSCR?

Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) is a financial metric used by lenders to assess the ability of a property to generate enough income to cover its mortgage payments. A DSCR of 1.0 means the property generates exactly enough income to cover debt payments, while higher ratios indicate better cash flow.

Why DSCR Matters

Private lenders typically require minimum DSCR ratios to ensure loan repayment ability. Understanding your property's DSCR helps you assess investment viability, negotiate better terms, and identify potential cash flow issues before they become problems.
