DSCR stands for Debt-Service Coverage Ratio. A DSCR loan qualifies an investment property based on whether its rental income covers the mortgage payment, rather than on your personal income. A DSCR of 1.0 means rent equals the payment; higher ratios indicate stronger cash flow.
DSCR loans are non-conforming investor loans and are not capped by the conforming limit. Across the North Bay & Wine Country the 2026 one-unit conforming limit runs $832,750 to $1,017,750 — a useful benchmark when you size a purchase, even though it does not bind a DSCR loan.
