DSCR loan is a debt service coverage ratio loan. Okay, so I go get a hard money loan from a gator. You're going to be like 12 to 18% depending on the gator, right? I can't make money on that with a long term rental. Tenant is paying the rent. I got a loan. A renter cannot be covering a $500,000 purchase at 12% interest. That's crazy. So I need to get something lower, like 6, 5, 7%. That's where a DSCR loan comes in. These are long term permanent loans and they are debt service coverage ratio, which means the bank, me, we look at the tenant, we go, oh, Tenant is paying $2,500. The loan I'm going to give you, it needs to be less money per month. Have the tenant cover the ratio. So debt service, that's the monthly payment, debt service coverage ratio. If your tenant is paying more money than what your payment is going to be, I'll give you a loan. I don't care what your name is, I don't care what your blood type is, I will give you a loan as long as your debt service is being covered by the ratio of your rent. DSCR.
