Mortgage Education: DSCR Math vs Non-QM Underwriting

DSCR math is one lens for an investment property; it is not the same as complete underwriting.

Start with the ratio

Debt-service coverage compares qualifying property cash flow with debt service under defined assumptions. Document rent, vacancy, operating expenses, reserves, taxes, insurance, and the proposed payment.

Separate math from eligibility

Non-QM underwriting may also evaluate credit, liquidity, property condition, experience, title, entity structure, and lender overlays.
