How does DSCR work? DSCR
If you apply for a traditional mortgage, you’re asked to document your income. This can be complicated if you’re self-employed, own a business, or have non-traditional income sources.
DSCR streamlines income qualification by using the cashflow of the property. Here’s how we do it at Axos Bank.
- 1We look at the current rent and an appraiser’s market rental analysis.
- 2We calculate the expected net rent using whichever is lower: actual rent or market rents.
- 3The rent from the property will be divided by the proposed new mortgage payment to calculate the DSCR for the proposed loan.
If the calculation exceeds the minimum ratio required by the investor guidelines for the loan, the rent from the property will be used as the primary source of repayment and qualification
If the calculation doesn’t meet the minimum ratio required by the investor guideline for the loan, you may qualify for our no ratio option
