From two-family homes in Brooklyn and North Jersey to rentals in Florida and the Poconos, DSCR loans fit how investors actually buy. We see investors use cash-out DSCR refinances on paid-off 2- and 3-family homes to fund the next purchase.
Pricing moves with the ratio: a property whose rent comfortably exceeds the payment gets better terms than one that barely breaks even. We model several structures so you can see the trade-offs.

Questions
What DSCR do I need?
Many lenders want 1.0 or higher, meaning rent at least equals the payment. Some programs go lower with more down.
Can I close in my LLC?
Yes. Most DSCR programs allow LLC vesting with a personal guarantee.
Do you need my tax returns?
No. DSCR loans rely on the lease or an appraiser's rent estimate, plus credit and reserves.
