Why DSCR Loans Are a Game Changer for Wisconsin Investors
If you’re a real estate investor in Wisconsin, getting financing without jumping through hoops is possible - thanks to DSCR loans.
Unlike traditional mortgages that rely on your personal income, DSCR loans base approval on the rental income of the property itself. That means no tax returns, no W-2s, and no explaining your business deductions to an underwriter.
According to NerdWallet's DSCR loan guide, this strategy is becoming increasingly popular for portfolio investors and self-employed borrowers alike.
What is a DSCR Loan?
DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio, which compares the property’s income to its expenses. Lenders typically look for a DSCR of 1.0 or higher, which means the property generates enough income to cover its mortgage payment.
Key Benefits:
- ✅ No income verification required
- ✅ Approval based on the property's income
- ✅ Fast closings - perfect for competitive markets
- ✅ Great for rental investors and self-employed buyers
- ✅ Eligible for short-term, long-term, and multi-unit properties
How DSCR Loans Work in Wisconsin
Here's how it plays out in real life:
Let's say you're buying a duplex in Milwaukee. The total rent is $2,200/month, and your estimated mortgage payment is $2,000/month. That gives you a DSCR of 1.1 - which qualifies.
No personal income documents required. No tax returns. No P&L statements. Just the numbers from the property.
