DSCR is an acronym for Debt Service Coverage Ratio. It is a metric used by investors to measure the ability of a company to repay its debt. By understanding this ratio, investors can make more informed investment decisions. 

The rental market is booming, and it’s likely that investors will take advantage of this by purchasing additional properties.

In December 2021 Fortune reported an increase in average rent prices for one bedroom units at 11%. More importantly, with these increases come opportunities to invest capital into new builds or buy underperforming ones from sellers who need cash quickly. 

Conventional Loan Programs for Investors
