Knowledge & insights
DSCR = monthly rent ÷ PITIA (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, association dues). A 1.0 DSCR means rent exactly covers the payment; 1.25 is the comfort zone for most lenders.
Interest-only DSCR loans dramatically raise qualifying DSCR — useful in higher-rate environments where principal + interest would push DSCR below 1.0.
Closing in an LLC keeps the loan off personal credit and isolates liability between properties.
