A little background on what a DSCR loan is:
The formula for the debt-service coverage ratio requires net operating income and the total debt servicing for the entity. Net operating income is a company's revenue minus certain operating expenses (COE), not including taxes and interest payments. It is often considered the equivalent of earnings before interest and tax (EBIT).

Can finance over 10 properties, 1-4 unit homes, and 5-8 unit properties as well.  
Loan amounts up to $2.5m.
Min 20% down required.
Credit scores as low as 620.
