Long-term Rental / DSCR Loans

Long-term investor financing for rental purchases, refinances, or cash-outs

Green Block’s Rental / DSCR Loans are perfect for investors who are looking to acquire turn-key rentals or refinance or cash-out equity of properties in their current portfolio. While conventional banks rely on the investor’s personal debt-to-income, our loans use the property’s Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR), which is a measure of the property’s cash flow compared to its debt. This means we have less paperwork and faster closings than traditional conventional banks and mortgage providers. We help you acquire more rentals and build wealth more quickly.

What is a DSCR?2022-05-22T17:02:22-04:00

DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio.

DSCR is a measure of the property’s ability to cover its debt obligation. The higher the DSCR, the better.
