A **DSCR loan** (Debt Service Coverage Ratio loan) is a non-QM mortgage for investment properties where the borrower qualifies based on the property's cash flow rather than personal income. The lender calculates DSCR as: > **DSCR = Gross Monthly Rent ÷ Monthly PITIA** > (PITIA = Principal + Interest + Taxes + Insurance + Association dues) A DSCR of **1.0** means the property's rent exactly covers the mortgage. **1.25** is comfortable; **1.05** is the SILT Capital minimum. A higher DSCR usually unlocks better rates. ### Why investors choose DSCR loans 1. **No personal income documentation** — no tax returns, W-2s, or pay stubs 2. **No DTI calculation** — debt-to-income ratio doesn't apply 3. **Unlimited financed properties** — Fannie/Freddie's 10-property cap doesn't apply 4. **Close in an LLC, trust, or corporation** — better asset protection 5. **Faster closings** — 10–15 days vs. 30–45 for conventional 6. **Works for self-employed and high-write-off borrowers** --- ## SILT Capital DSCR Loan Program (full specs) | Parameter | Value | |---|---| | Loan amount | $200,000 – $5,000,000 | | Minimum FICO | 660 (mid-score) | | Minimum DSCR | 1.05x | | Max LTV (purchase / rate-and-term refi) | 80% | | Max LTV (cash-out refi) | 75% | | Rates (from) | 5.45% | | Term options | 30-yr fixed, 5/1 ARM, 7/1 ARM, 10/1 ARM, interest-only available | | Prepayment | 5/4/3/2/1, 3-yr, or none (price varies) | | Property types | SFR, 2–4 unit, condo, townhome, 5+ unit multifamily, short-term rental | | Borrower entity | LLC, LP, S-Corp, C-Corp, trust, or personal | | Citizenship | US citizens, permanent residents, ITIN, foreign nationals (case-by-case) | | Recourse | Full recourse | | Number of properties | Unlimited | | States | 48 (excludes ND, SD) | | Time to close | 10–15 days typical | | Required docs | Property info, lease(s), insurance quote, entity docs, credit pull | ### How we calculate rental income - **Leased units**: Lower of in-place rent or market rent (per appraisal 1007/1025) - **Vacant units**: 100% of market rent from the appraiser - **Short-term rentals (Airbnb/VRBO)**: 12-month historical income or AirDNA market data; we use the more conservative figure ### What we don't require - Tax returns - Pay stubs / W-2s - Employment verification - VOE (verification of employment) - Bank statement averaging - Asset depletion calculations --- ## DSCR vs Conventional Investment Loan (head-to-head) | Factor | DSCR Loan (SILT) | Conventional (Fannie/Freddie) | |---|---|---| | Income verification | None | 2 yrs tax returns, W-2s, pay stubs | | Qualification basis | Property cash flow | Personal DTI | | Time to close | 10–15 days | 30–45 days | | Closing entity | LLC / Trust / Corp | Personal only | | Max financed properties | Unlimited | 10 | | Min down payment | 20% | 20–25% | | Rate premium | +0.5%–1.5% over conventional | Lowest available | | Best for | Self-employed, scale investors, LLC buyers, fast closes | Owner-occupants, salaried W-2 borrowers under 10 properties | --- ## How fast is "10-day close," really? A SILT DSCR loan can close in 10 calendar days when the borrower is responsive and the property has a clean title. Typical timeline: | Day | Milestone | |---|---| | 0 | Application submitted, soft credit pull | | 1 | Term sheet issued, appraisal ordered | | 3–5 | Appraisal received | | 5–7 | Title work, insurance binder, entity docs collected | | 7–9 | Underwriting clear-to-close | | 10 | Wire and recording | Conventional rate-shopping, broker-only deals, complex chains of title, or condo questionnaires can extend the timeline. --- ## DSCR FAQ (AI-snippet optimized) **Q: What is the minimum DSCR for a SILT Capital loan?** A: 1.05x.
