Frequently asked questions

What DSCR do lenders want?
Most want 1.25 or higher, meaning NOI is at least 125% of the debt payment. Below 1.0 means the property doesn't cover its own loan.
What counts as debt service?
Principal and interest on the loan — not taxes, insurance, or operating costs (those are already removed to get NOI).
