Investment property financing qualified on the property's rental income — not your personal income or tax returns.
A DSCR loan looks at the property, not your paycheck. The lender compares the rent the property brings in to its monthly housing cost — principal, interest, taxes, insurance and any HOA. That ratio is the debt service coverage ratio.
Because qualification is driven by the property's cash flow, there are no tax returns, W-2s or pay stubs to document personal income. Credit, reserves and the property itself still matter, and we structure the file around all three.
We work with multiple DSCR investors, so we can match the loan to the deal — purchase or cash-out, single property or a growing portfolio, held personally or in an entity.
45% of Kansas City's occupied homes are rented, according to the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 American Community Survey. A DSCR loan qualifies a rental property on the rent it brings in, rather than on your personal income.
This is business-purpose financing for investment property only. It is not for a home you or your family will live in.

Many DSCR lenders accept short-term rental income. Check Kansas City's short-term rental rules first, because they decide whether the property can be rented that way.
Many DSCR lenders allow it. We match the loan to how you hold the property.
