DSCR

DSCR loans for Michigan real estate investors

DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans qualify the property’s rent against the payment — not your personal DTI the way a conventional loan does. That can help Michigan investors buying or refinancing 1–4 unit rentals in places such as Flat Rock, Taylor, and Detroit. DSCR is not automatically cheaper than a conventional investment loan.

Who this may fit

Real estate investors buying or refinancing rental property who want the property to qualify on its own income.

Why borrowers use it

  • Qualify using rental income vs. PITIA, not just W-2 DTI, subject to investor overlays
  • Purchase, rate-and-term, and cash-out on investment property where available
  • Useful for 1–4 unit rentals across Downriver and metro Detroit
  • Honest conversation about DSCR minimums, reserves, and rate vs. conventional investment

Things to watch

DSCR is not automatically cheaper than a conventional investment loan. If your personal DTI supports conventional, price that too. Short-term rental stories have different overlays.

Documents commonly needed

  • Lease or expected market rent
  • Entity documents if closing in an LLC
  • Reserve statements
  • Property insurance quote

Why work with Brad on DSCR

DSCR is not a trophy product. Brad will run it against a conventional investment quote on the same Detroit, Flat Rock, or Romulus rental so you see which is actually cheaper — and which overlay will buy the story.

Next step

Call or text (248) 408-3855 with the property and your income type. Brad can help you review whether dscr investor loans may fit — subject to program requirements — or which related option to compare. You can also start a secure application or read how pre-approval works.

Questions

Typically the file leans on the lease, market rent, and the property — not full personal DTI. Each investor overlay is different. Brad can tell you what that lender wants before you spend money on an appraisal. Entity documents and reserves are still commonly required.

Often yes, subject to LTV, seasoning, and the DSCR on the new payment. Short-term rental stories can have different overlays than long-term leases. Availability varies.
