There is no single universal DSCR guideline
DSCR is a category of business-purpose investor financing offered by many different lenders. Credit, leverage, reserves, property eligibility, rent calculations and documentation can vary materially by lender.
Start with the deal, not a headline
A guideline such as “20% down,” “85% LTV,” “no-ratio,” or “no seasoning” may exist with a select program without being available for every borrower or property. LoanFight presents these as lender-specific possibilities, not guaranteed terms.
Illustrative credit and leverage examples
Select lender matrices may pair stronger leverage with stronger credit. Examples LoanFight may screen for include 680+ with 20% down, 720+ with up to 85% LTV, and lower-score structures around 65% LTV. Certain very-low-LTV investor programs can be more flexible on minimum credit. The property, DSCR, reserves, experience and lender overlays still control the final result.
What to have ready
