What Are Investor Loans?

Investor Loans, also known as DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans, are tailored for real estate investors who want to qualify based on the income potential of the property, not personal income or tax returns.

These loans make it easier for landlords and investors to finance rental properties without traditional income documentation.

Instead of using W-2s or pay stubs, lenders evaluate the rental income vs. loan payment ratio to determine eligibility—making it the ideal solution for self-employed borrowers and full-time investors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about P&L statement loans and how they work for business owners.

What is an Investor Loan?

An Investor Loan (often called a DSCR loan) is designed specifically for real estate investors who want to qualify based on the cash flow of the property rather than personal income. It’s ideal for borrowers who earn through rentals or own multiple investment properties.

What does DSCR mean?

DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio, which measures a property’s ability to cover its mortgage payments using its rental income.

For example, if a property earns $2,000 in rent and the mortgage payment is $1,500, the DSCR is 1.33 — meaning the property generates enough income to cover its expenses comfortably.

Who can qualify for an Investor Loan?

Any real estate investor, landlord, or self-employed borrower looking to purchase or refinance a rental property can qualify. Traditional employment verification isn’t required, as the loan is based on property cash flow instead of W-2 income.

Do I need tax returns to apply for an Investor Loan?

No. Investor Loans do not require tax returns, W-2s, or pay stubs.

Qualification is based solely on the income potential of the property being financed, making it easier for investors with complex financial situations to get approved.

What types of properties can I finance with an Investor Loan?

✅Single-family homes

✅Multi-unit properties (up to 4 units)

✅Condos and townhomes

✅Short-term rental properties (Airbnb / VRBO)

Some programs also allow LLCs or corporations to hold title to the property.

How much can I borrow with an Investor Loan?

Loan amounts typically range from $100,000 up to $3 million, depending on your credit profile, property type, and the property’s DSCR ratio.

Can I use an Investor Loan to refinance an existing property?

Yes! You can use an Investor Loan to refinance an existing investment property to lower your rate, access cash-out for new investments, or consolidate multiple mortgages under one program.
