What is a DSCR loan?

A DSCR loan — short for Debt Service Coverage Ratio — is an investor mortgage that qualifies off the property's rental income rather than the borrower's personal income or debt-to-income ratio. If the property's rent covers the total housing payment (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and HOA), the loan qualifies. Self-employed investors, LLC-title borrowers, and anyone with complex tax returns can build a rental portfolio without W-2 gymnastics.

Kentucky market

Why Kentucky works for investor lending.

Louisville logistics anchor (UPS Worldport + Ford) drives steady rental demand. Lexington adds horse-country + UK + healthcare. Acquisition basis stays affordable relative to gross rents, and non-judicial foreclosure keeps holds projectable.

Louisville logistics anchor

Louisville hosts UPS Worldport (the world's largest air-freight hub) and multiple Ford truck plants. That anchors long-term employment and steady rental demand across the metro.

Lexington & UK

Lexington combines horse-country + University of Kentucky + a growing tech and healthcare base. Rental demand stays deep and predictable.

Affordable, projectable holds

Kentucky acquisition basis stays affordable relative to gross rents. Non-judicial foreclosure and standard eviction timelines keep holds projectable.
