California DSCR Loan Guide

What Are DSCR Loans in California?

DSCR loans in California are investment property mortgages that qualify borrowers based on the rental income a property generates — not personal income, tax returns, or W-2s. A DSCR of 1.0 or above means the property pays for itself — and that's typically all you need to qualify.

How California DSCR Loans Work

California DSCR lenders evaluate deals based on the property's LTV, current lease agreements or market rent comparables, and the borrower's credit score. No income documentation, no DTI calculation, no employment verification. Funds can be deployed in as little as 5–10 business days.*

DSCR vs Traditional Loans in California

Traditional California mortgages require W-2s, tax returns, and strict DTI limits. DSCR loans bypass all of this, qualifying solely on the California property's rental income potential — the preferred financing tool for California's most sophisticated real estate investors.
