DSCR Loans

What is a DSCR Loan?

At First Liberty Mortgage Company, LLC, we are proud to offer DSCR Loans. A DSCR loan is a type of commercial real estate loan that’s underwritten primarily based on the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) — a financial metric used to evaluate an income-producing property’s ability to cover its debt payments.

Key Items:

Loan Purpose

 • Can be used for purchasing or cash-out refinancing of investment properties.

 • Ideal for investors seeking to leverage equity or acquire new rental assets.

Eligible Property Types

 • 1–4 unit residential investment properties

 • Warrantable condos

 • Mixed-use properties may be considered on a case-by-case basis.


Ownership Structures

 • Can be vested in individual name, LLC, or trust.

 • Flexible title holding options make it suitable for professional investors and entities.

 

Loan Amounts

 • Loan amounts available up to $3 million, depending on property value and LTV.

 

Loan Terms

 • Loan Term: 30-year variable term.

 • Draw Period: 3-year draw period, allowing flexible access to funds.

 • Interest-Only Period: First 3 years are interest-only payments, improving early cash flow.

 

Loan-to-Value (LTV)

 • Up to 75% LTV for long-term rentals.

 • Limited to 70% LTV for short-term rental properties due to increased risk profile.

 

Qualification Criteria

 • No traditional income documentation required (i.e., no tax returns or pay stubs).

 • Qualification is based on the property’s income — not the borrower’s personal income.

 

Long-Term Rentals:

 • Can qualify using lease agreements or a rental income appraisal (Form 1007 or similar).

 


Short-Term Rentals (Airbnb, Vrbo, etc.):

 • Can use a short-term rental appraisal with market-based figures.

 • Must provide 24 months of bank statements showing consistent rental income deposits.

 • May also provide rental platform income reports (Airbnb, Vrbo, etc.) for verification.

 

Closing Timeline

 • Fast closings — typically within 30 days, assuming full document submission and no major appraisal delays.
