West Ridge Financial
Rental income · Loan guide
Qualify on the rent the property earns—not your personal income or tax returns.
The essentials
A debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) loan qualifies an investment property based on its rental income compared with the full payment, including taxes, insurance, and HOA dues. Your personal income and tax returns usually aren’t used to qualify.
DSCR loans are for investment properties only, including many long-term and short-term rentals. Expect a larger down payment and higher rate than an owner-occupied loan. They can work well for growing a portfolio or for investors whose tax returns don’t show their full income.

Personal from the start
You don’t need to have it all figured out. Tell Mike what you have in mind, and explore the options together.
Program availability, terms, and eligibility depend on the lender, the property, and your complete application. This overview is general education, not a commitment to lend.
