Median home price: $395K · Average rental yield: 6.2% · Vacancy rate: 5.5% · Population growth (12 mo): +45,000 · State income tax: Yes (2%-5.75%) · Property tax rate: 0.75%
A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan is an investment property mortgage that qualifies you based on the property's rental income — not your personal income. That means no W-2 requirement, no tax returns, no employment verification, and no debt-to-income ratio calculation based on your personal finances.
The "ratio" in DSCR measures whether the property's rental income covers its mortgage payment, taxes, and insurance (PITI). A DSCR of 1.0 means rent equals expenses. A DSCR of 1.25 means rent is 25% higher than expenses. Most lenders require a minimum 1.0x DSCR for standard programs. LendingStreet also offers No Ratio DSCR programs that remove the ratio requirement entirely.
DSCR loans have become the default financing method for serious Virginia real estate investors because they remove the biggest obstacle — the requirement to document personal income via W-2s and tax returns. Self-employed investors, full-time real estate investors, and anyone with complex income sources find DSCR vastly easier than conventional financing.
