“I’m an active duty Army officer stationed at Fort Sam Houston. I wanted to build rental portfolio but my PCS schedule made traditional loans a nightmare. Adam understood my situation—used DSCR loans to pick up 4 properties near base housing. Tenants are military families who stay for years. Best decision I ever made.”

★★★★★

“San Antonio is the best cash flow market in Texas—hands down. I looked at Austin and Dallas but the numbers didn’t work. Adam helped me acquire 6 single-family homes in West San Antonio and the East Side for under $200K each. All cash flowing over $300/month. DSCR qualification was a breeze since I’m self-employed.”

★★★★★

“I’m a nurse at the Medical Center and work crazy hours. Didn’t have time to deal with traditional loan paperwork. Adam’s team made DSCR simple—I just provided the appraisal and rent estimate. Closed on a duplex in Southtown in 21 days. My tenants are young professionals who love the neighborhood. Couldn’t be happier.”

What DSCR ratio do I need for a San Antonio 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). San Antonio’s low home prices and strong rental market make it easy to achieve 1.1–1.3 DSCR on many properties. 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 San Antonio the best market for cash flow investors?

San Antonio offers the highest rental yields in Texas—7-9% gross in top submarkets like Southtown, West SA, and the East Side. Median home prices of $295K are 41% below the national average. Joint Base San Antonio (80,000+ personnel) provides year-round tenant demand. Combined with no state income tax and landlord-friendly laws, San Antonio is arguably the best cash flow market in the state.

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 use DSCR loans to buy near military bases?

Yes! Properties near Joint Base San Antonio (including Fort Sam Houston, Lackland AFB, and Randolph AFB) are excellent DSCR candidates. Military families often prefer to rent due to PCS schedules, creating year-round demand. Areas like Converse, Live Oak, and Universal City are particularly popular with DSCR investors targeting military renters.

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. San Antonio’s strong yields often more than offset the slightly higher rate.
