In this episode of the Loan Lads Podcast, we’re diving into DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans, one of the smartest financing options for real estate investors.

Unlike traditional loans that rely heavily on a borrower’s personal income and debt-to-income ratio, DSCR loans are based on the income generated by the property itself. This makes them an ideal choice for investors looking to scale their portfolios, qualify faster, and unlock more opportunities.

We’ll break down:

• What DSCR loans are and how they work
• Why they’re often the best bet for investors
• The advantages of qualifying based on rental income, not your personal income
• Real-world examples of how DSCR loans can set you up for success

Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just getting started, this episode will help you understand why DSCR loans might be the key to growing your real estate portfolio.
