Real Estate Investors: Calculate Your DSCR and Get Funded Fast

For real estate investors, understanding your property's Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) is essential for securing financing and building a profitable portfolio. Zeus Commercial Capital specializes in DSCR loans that allow investors to qualify based on property income rather than personal income.

What Is DSCR and Why Does It Matter?

The Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) measures a property's ability to generate enough income to cover its debt obligations, including principal, interest, taxes, and insurance. Lenders use this ratio to assess risk and determine loan eligibility.

DSCR Formula:

DSCR = Net Operating Income (NOI) / Total Debt Service

For example, if your rental property generates $36,000 in annual net operating income and your total annual debt service (mortgage payments) is $30,000:

DSCR = $36,000 / $30,000 = 1.20

A DSCR of 1.20 means the property generates 20% more income than needed to cover debt payments, indicating strong cash flow and lower risk for lenders.

Benefits of DSCR Loans from Zeus Commercial Capital

Flexible Loan Terms

• Terms: 15, 20, or 30-year fixed rates available
• Property types: Single-family, multi-family (2-4 units), condos, townhomes

Fast Approval Process

While DSCR loans require property appraisals, Zeus Commercial Capital streamlines the process:

• Pre-approval in 24-48 hours
• Closing in 2-4 weeks (vs. 45-60 days with traditional lenders)
