DSCR Calculator Guide
What the DSCR Calculator Tells You
DSCR equals qualifying monthly rent divided by monthly PITIA. PITIA includes principal, interest, property taxes, insurance, and HOA. The calculator estimates whether the property income supports the proposed debt. It is a sizing tool, not a final credit or program approval.
DSCR Formula
DSCR = Monthly Rent ÷ Monthly PITIA
Example: $2,500 rent ÷ $2,000 PITIA = 1.25 DSCR.
What the Calculator Does Not Decide
Final eligibility also depends on the selected capital partner, FICO, LTV, seasoning, property type, lease status, reserves, loan amount, state, and current pricing.
Current Program Guardrails That Affect Loan Sizing
| Scenario | Current Guardrail |
|---|---|
| Low DSCR | Options down to 0.75 DSCR. The 0.75 option generally adds about 1.00% to 1.25% to the standard rate. |
| LTR Purchase | Up to 85% LTV at 740+ FICO on qualifying programs. |
| STR Purchase | Up to 80% LTV at 680+ FICO on qualifying programs. AirDNA is accepted by multiple capital partners. |
| Cash-Out Refinance | Program 3 can reach 80% LTV at 680+ FICO in selected states. Outside those states, Program 3 is generally capped at 75% LTV. |
| Lease Requirement | Programs 2 and 3 can qualify without a lease. Program 1 requires a lease. |
Where 80% Cash-Out Is Available on Program 3
At 680+ FICO, Program 3 can reach 80% cash-out LTV in the following states:
AL, CO, GA, ME, MI, MS, MO, NC, NH, PA, TN, TX, VA, WA
Why Your Final Quote May Differ From the Calculator
The calculator uses the numbers you enter. A real DSCR quote can change when the appraisal establishes a different market rent or property value, when taxes or insurance differ from the estimate, or when a capital partner applies a program overlay.
Program features also cannot be stacked automatically. For example, the $50,000 minimum-loan option belongs to Program 1, while the completed-renovation no-seasoning option belongs to Program 3 and has a $75,000 minimum loan. The quote process matches the full scenario to the capital partner whose rules actually fit.

DSCR Calculator FAQs
How do you calculate DSCR on a rental property?
DSCR is monthly qualifying rent divided by monthly PITIA: principal, interest, property taxes, insurance, and HOA. A $2,500 monthly rent divided by a $2,000 PITIA payment produces a 1.25 DSCR.
What DSCR is required for a DSCR loan?
Requirements vary by capital partner and loan structure. Get Brick Capital has qualifying options down to 0.75 DSCR. The 0.75 option generally adds about 1.00% to 1.25% to the standard rate, and other credit, LTV, property, and reserve requirements still apply.
Can a DSCR loan qualify below a 1.0 DSCR?
Yes. Qualifying options are available down to 0.75 DSCR. A sub-1.0 DSCR does not automatically mean every loan structure or leverage level is available, so the full scenario still has to be matched to the appropriate wholesale program.
What is the maximum LTV on a DSCR cash-out refinance?
Program 3 can reach 80% cash-out LTV at 680+ FICO in AL, CO, GA, ME, MI, MS, MO, NC, NH, PA, TN, TX, VA, and WA. Outside those states, that program is generally capped at 75% LTV. Other programs may have different limits.
What is the maximum LTV on a DSCR purchase?
Qualifying long-term rental purchases can reach 85% LTV at 740+ FICO. Short-term rental purchases can reach 80% LTV at 680+ FICO on qualifying programs. The actual maximum depends on the complete loan scenario.
Do I need a signed lease for a DSCR loan?
Not on every program. Programs 2 and 3 can qualify without an executed lease. Program 1 requires a lease, and if the lease is less than 90 days old it also requires proof of the security deposit and rent plus evidence those funds were deposited into the landlord's bank account.
Can I calculate a DSCR loan before the property has a tenant?
Yes for programs that allow market-rent qualification without an executed lease. The appraiser's market-rent opinion may be used when the selected capital partner permits it. Lease requirements are program-specific.
Can I use AirDNA for a short-term rental DSCR loan?
Yes. Multiple Get Brick Capital capital partners accept AirDNA projections. Actual Airbnb or VRBO history can also be used on qualifying programs. Short-term rental program rules differ by capital partner, so the projection source should be reviewed with the full scenario.
Does the calculator tell me exactly which program I qualify for?
No. The calculator estimates property-level DSCR and loan sizing. It does not model every capital partner's FICO tiers, seasoning rules, state overlays, lease requirements, property-type restrictions, or pricing adjustments. A quote request is needed for an exact program match.
