Debt service coverage ratio compares a property’s rental-income picture with its debt payment. This residential illustration uses assumed rent and the full monthly housing payment. Property details, credit, reserves and lender rules still matter.
Buying a rental, or refinancing one you own? Start with the property and its rental story.
Follow the relationship.
Compare rent with principal, interest, taxes, insurance and applicable dues.
Hypothetical coverage: one point one eight. Not profit or approval.
For a purchase, connect the listing and rent support with your down payment plan.
Current rents may support refinancing, cash toward your next project, or a different loan structure.
In this hypothetical example, subtract the payoff and costs from the new loan: forty thousand dollars remains. The assumed payment increases.

Read the hypothetical assumptions
The opening example is $3,540 rent ÷ $3,000 full monthly housing payment = 1.18×. PITIA includes principal, interest, taxes, insurance and applicable association dues/HOA. Reserves are a separate review factor, not part of this denominator.
The later refinance example assumes a $300,000 new loan, $250,000 existing payoff and $10,000 total costs, leaving $40,000 net loan proceeds—not profit. The assumed monthly payment rises from $3,000 to $3,200. $3,540 rent ÷ $3,200 assumed PITIA = 1.10625, shown rounded as 1.11×.
These are illustrative assumptions, not an amortization calculation, rate quote, lender threshold, approval or figures for the pictured property. Actual costs, rent treatment, equity, credit, reserves, property details and lender requirements need verification. Commercial methods are separate.

YOUR NEXT MOVE
Two starting points. A clearer conversation.
Choose the context. Bring the details that matter.
01 / PURCHASE
See a property. Start with a plan.
Explore your purchase financing before you make your next move. Understand the review, the cash plan and the questions to ask about preapproval.
Start here
The property, purchase price and intended rental use.
Bring context
Rent support, your down payment plan and a monthly payment you are comfortable with.
Ask next
Which purchase or preapproval process does the lender offer for this property and loan type?
02 / REFINANCE
Own the property. Explore what’s next.
A refinance conversation starts with your goal—not just a different payment. Compare proposed terms, costs and the role of your equity.
Start here
Your current loan balance, payment, remaining term and any prepayment provisions.
Bring context
Rent support, property details, taxes, insurance and applicable association dues.
Ask next
How would the new loan change your payment, cash position and total borrowing cost?
Conversation prompts, not lender requirements. Available options and terms depend on the property, borrower and lender.

Your property. Your financing path.
Different properties ask different financing questions. Explore the rental-income approach for residential investments, or bring the operating picture into a commercial conversation.

RESIDENTIAL / AN ILLUSTRATIONOne property. The full picture.
RENTAL PROPERTY, IN CONTEXT

DSCR—debt service coverage ratio—compares a property’s rental-income picture with its debt payment. Explore how that relationship may support a purchase or refinance, alongside the lender’s other requirements.

02 / THE CONTEXT
Current or estimated rent
03 / THE DIRECTION
Purchase or refinance goal
FROM POSSIBILITY TO A PLAN
Make your move. With a clear plan.
Curious about the program? Ready to compare a rate? Looking to purchase? Start with the path that fits where you are today.
See how the rental picture, the property and your goal fit together. Separate what you know from what needs a lender review.
02
LOOK AT THE WHOLE LOAN
Go beyond the headline rate.
Compare the rate alongside the payment, term, upfront costs and any points or lender credits. A lower rate alone is not the whole comparison.
03
PREPARE TO PURCHASE
Start the purchase review.
Ask which purchase or preapproval process fits the property and program, what information the lender needs and what conditions remain.
A LITTLE MORE CLARITY
Good questions. Clearer decisions.
Understand the language. Find your next step.
Do I need a property picked out?+
You can begin by learning about the financing approach and your purchase goal. A specific property brings price, rental support and property details into the review. Ask the lender what it can assess before you identify an address.
Is the lowest rate always the best fit?+
Look at the payment, loan term, upfront costs and any points or lender credits together. Compare similar scenarios and ask what changes over the time you expect to hold the loan.
Does rental income tell the whole story?+
No. The rental-income relationship is a starting point, not an approval. The property, credit, reserves and lender requirements still matter. The film uses hypothetical figures, not a qualification promise.
