DSCR (5-8 residential unit) & 2-8 mixed use)
About program
For investors looking to finance 5-8 unit multi-family properties, the DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) approach simplifies qualification by focusing on property cash flow. This program allows investors to build portfolios without relying on personal income documents. The property’s net rental income should ideally cover or exceed the mortgage payment, making qualification straightforward.
