“I picked up 3 single-family rentals in Garland and Mesquite using DSCR loans through Adam’s team. As a self-employed consultant, traditional lenders wanted 2 years of tax returns and made the process painful. With DSCR, I just showed the appraisal and rent comps—closed all three in under 30 days each. Cash flowing $400/month per property.”

★★★★★

“Relocated from California to invest in DFW—the numbers here are so much better. Adam helped me understand the DSCR process and got me into a duplex in Carrollton before I even moved. Closed in my LLC for asset protection. Already looking at property #2 in Oak Cliff. The Texas market is incredible for investors.”

★★★★★

“I was hitting the 10-property cap with conventional loans and thought I was stuck. Adam introduced me to DSCR financing and suddenly the ceiling was gone. Just closed on properties 11 and 12 in Grand Prairie—both cash flowing from day one. The no-DTI requirement is a game changer for serious portfolio builders.”

What DSCR ratio do I need for a Dallas investment property?

Most DSCR lenders look for a ratio of 1.0 or higher, meaning the property’s monthly rent covers the full mortgage payment (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and HOA if applicable). In Dallas, where median prices are 11% below the national average and rents remain strong, many properties hit 1.0–1.25 DSCR. Some programs accept ratios as low as 0.75 with a larger down payment.

Can I close a DSCR loan in my LLC in Texas?

Absolutely—and we recommend it for asset protection. DSCR loans are one of the few loan programs that allow you to close directly in your LLC, corporation, or other business entity. This protects your personal assets from liability related to the investment property. Texas LLC formation is straightforward and affordable.

Is Dallas a good market for DSCR investors right now?

Dallas-Fort Worth ranks among the best DSCR markets in the country. Median home prices around $375K are 11% below the national average, average SFR rents of $1,995 support strong DSCR ratios, cap rates of 5-7% beat coastal markets, no state income tax improves net returns, and 100,000+ new residents annually fuel rental demand. Corporate relocations from Goldman Sachs, Charles Schwab, and CBRE create consistent high-income tenant demand.

How many DSCR loans can I have at once?

There is no limit with DSCR loans—that’s one of their biggest advantages. Unlike conventional financing (which caps out at 10 financed properties), DSCR loans let you scale to 20, 50, or more properties. Each property is qualified on its own rental income, so your personal DTI never becomes a bottleneck.

Can I finance a 5-9 unit property with a DSCR loan?

Yes! While 1-4 unit properties are the most common, DSCR programs are available for 5-9 unit small multifamily properties. These may have slightly different requirements and are considered small-balance commercial, but they qualify based on the same DSCR principles—rental income covering debt service.

What are current DSCR loan interest rates?

DSCR loan rates are typically 0.5–1.5% higher than conventional investment property rates, reflecting the reduced documentation. As of early 2026, expect rates in the high 6% to low 8% range depending on credit score, down payment, DSCR ratio, and property type. Higher down payments and stronger DSCR ratios get better pricing.
