DSCR Calculator

Know what the rent
actually supports.

Run the address, the rent and the leverage before you talk to anybody. The pricer reads live market basis, so it moves when the market moves instead of quoting you a rate sheet from last month.

What it does

It answers the only question that matters first.

Can this property carry this loan. That is the whole underwriting question on a DSCR file, and it is answerable in about a minute with four inputs.

Most investors run the numbers backwards. They start with the payment they want and work out the rent later. On a rental that ends in a declined file, because the ratio was never going to clear at that leverage.

Run it the other way. Rent first, then solve for the loan the rent actually supports. If the answer is smaller than what you need, you find that out before you are under contract.

What you enter

Property address
Exact address, so the rent and value are real rather than guessed.
Estimated value
Your number is fine to start. We underwrite to the appraisal, not to Zestimate.
Market rent
What it leases for today, not what it could lease for after work.
Loan amount
Drives the ratio. You can solve for the payment or for the proceeds.
Taxes and insurance
The two line items borrowers most often underestimate on a Florida file.
HOA, if any
Condo and PUD dues come off the top of the ratio before anything else.

Coverage tiers

Leverage decides how thin a file can be.

The higher you go on leverage, the cleaner the file has to be. These are the tiers the pricer tests against. The actual rate depends on the property, the ratio and the structure, which is why it is priced live rather than posted here.

65%

The strongest file

Lowest leverage means the thinnest file can clear. Best fit when the property is a condo, the borrower is newer to investing, or the ratio is soft.

  • Lowest pricing tier
  • Thinnest documentation
  • Widest property acceptance

70%

The common middle

Most stabilized rentals land here. Enough leverage to pull real equity out while the coverage ratio still clears comfortably.

  • Mid pricing tier
  • Stabilized rentals
  • Strong cash-out candidate

75%

The standard ask

Where most experienced investors price first. Works on 1 to 4 unit residential and most small multifamily with a clean rent roll.

  • Most common tier
  • 1 to 4 unit residential
  • Requires a clean ratio

80%

Maximum leverage

The most a DSCR program will generally go. Needs the ratio to carry it and a property that underwrites cleanly at the higher exposure.

  • Highest leverage
  • Strongest ratio required
  • Best property quality required

No rate figures are published here on purpose. A rate that is right for one property is wrong for the next one, so we price the actual deal instead of advertising a number we would then have to walk back.

Where the number comes from

The pricer is tied to live market basis, refreshed through the trading day, rather than a fixed table somebody typed in once. That matters because the thing it is tracking moves, and a calculator quoting last month's market is worse than no calculator.

Every quote carries the basis and the date it was observed, so the number you see is one you can trace rather than one you have to take on faith.

Where the estimate stops

An estimate is not a commitment. The binding number comes from underwriting the real address, the actual tax bill, the actual insurance quote and the appraisal value, not the estimate you typed in.

Florida taxes and windstorm insurance are the two line items that most often move a file between the estimate and the real terms. Both are worth checking before you go hard on a contract.

Straight answers

What is DSCR and why does it decide my loan?+

DSCR is the rent divided by the full housing payment. On a DSCR loan it replaces your personal income as the thing underwritten. If the rent covers the payment with room to spare, the file can work without tax returns or W-2s.

Do I need to enter my income?+

No. Nothing on this page or in the pricer asks for it. The whole point of the product is that the property qualifies, not your tax return.

What coverage ratio do I need?+

Programs run from a fully covered ratio down to sub-1.0 and no-ratio structures, depending on the property, the leverage and the file. That range is exactly why this is quoted live rather than posted as a grid.

How accurate is the estimate before I talk to anyone?+

The pricer is indicative, built off live market basis rather than a stale rate sheet. Treat it as a strong first read. The binding number comes from underwriting the actual address, taxes and insurance.

How much can I pull out on a cash-out refinance?+

Up to the leverage tier the property supports, measured against current value, less the existing payoff and closing costs. If you are sitting in a bridge or hard money loan, that is the most common reason investors run this.

Is this available on a primary residence?+

No. This is business purpose financing on non-owner-occupied investment property only. It is not a consumer mortgage and it is not for the home you live in.

Run it before you make an offer.

Sixty seconds now beats finding out the ratio does not clear three weeks into a contract.

Business purpose, non-owner-occupied investment property only.
