Why investors choose DSCR refi

Scale your portfolio without traditional lending limitations. Your rental income does the qualifying.

Qualify on rental income — not personal income

DSCR refinance uses your property’s rental income as the sole qualification. No W-2s, no tax returns, no employment verification. If the rent covers the mortgage, you qualify — for the underwriting playbook see our Texas DSCR loan page.

Lower your rate or cash-out equity

Refinance an existing investment property loan to a lower rate, or access equity for your next acquisition. Cash-out available up to 75% LTV. Run the savings through our refinance calculator first.

Unlimited properties — no portfolio cap

Unlike conventional loans that cap at 10 financed properties, DSCR refinance programs have no portfolio limit. Scale without boundaries — lease-up assumptions follow standard FNMA rental income guidelines.

Close in your LLC or entity

DSCR refinances close in your LLC, S-Corp, or trust. Keep investment properties separate from personal assets for liability protection. Self-employed investors with strong deposits can also explore a bank-statement refinance on owner-occupied homes.

Why refinance with DSCR

Lower your portfolio rate

If you purchased investment properties at higher rates, DSCR refinance lets you lock lower rates as the market shifts — increasing your monthly cash flow across your entire portfolio.

Extract equity for growth

Cash-out DSCR refinance lets you pull equity from existing properties to fund down payments on new acquisitions — creating a compounding portfolio growth cycle.

Fast investor closings

No income documents means faster underwriting. Most DSCR refinances close in 21–30 days. Simplified process, same day pre-approvals.

DSCR refi in 4 steps

From property analysis to closing day — streamlined for investors.

01

Calculate DSCR

Submit your deal. We’ll analyze the lease income vs. mortgage payment (PITIA), calculate the DSCR ratio, and confirm eligibility within 24 hours. DSCR as low as 0.75 qualifies for both rate & term and cash-out.

02

Apply & lock rate

Submit your application with lease and property docs. We structure the best program for your profile and lock your rate. No personal income documents needed.

03

Appraisal & underwriting

Property appraisal and rent schedule confirm value and income. Our underwriters verify the DSCR ratio and clear conditions. Timeline: 2–3 weeks.

04

Close in your entity

Close at a Texas title company in your LLC, trust, or personal name. Your new rate takes effect and cash-out funds disburse within 3 business days.

DSCR Refinance FAQ

Common questions about refinancing investment properties with DSCR.

Minimum 0.75 DSCR for both rate & term and cash-out refinance. Below 0.75 DSCR, rate & term refinance is still available at a maximum 65% LTV. A ratio of 1.0–1.24 gets competitive standard terms, and 1.25+ unlocks the best rates and maximum leverage. We accept all ratio tiers — your ratio determines your terms, not your eligibility.
Yes. Cash-out DSCR refinance is available starting at 0.75 DSCR, up to 75% LTV. Use the equity for down payments on new acquisitions, renovations, or portfolio expansion. Most investors use DSCR cash-out as a portfolio growth strategy — extracting equity from existing properties to fund the next purchase.
We use actual lease agreements or a 1007 rent schedule (an appraiser’s market rent estimate — whichever is higher). Short-term rental revenue (Airbnb/VRBO) can also be used with documented booking history or AirDNA projections.
1–4 unit residential properties, condos, townhomes, and 5–8 unit small multifamily. Properties must be non-owner-occupied (investment only). Short-term rentals are eligible with documentation.
Rate & term: 6 months minimum since acquisition. Cash-out: 6 months seasoning, based on the lower of purchase price or current appraised value. Properties acquired via subject-to or wrap may have additional requirements.
Yes — each property requires its own refinance application and appraisal, but we can process multiple DSCR refinances simultaneously. Portfolio refinance packages are available for 3+ properties.
