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.

Louisiana market

Why Louisiana works for investor lending.

Louisiana is a mixed-strategy market. New Orleans supports LTR + STR mixed portfolios. Baton Rouge combines state-capital + LSU stability. Industrial corridors along the Mississippi anchor cash-flow SFR.

New Orleans tourism + STR

New Orleans hosts one of the most active STR markets in the South where zoning permits. Our DSCR program supports STR income on qualifying properties.

Baton Rouge + LSU

Baton Rouge combines state-capital employment with LSU + the LSU medical complex, driving stable long-term rental demand.

Petrochemical + industrial anchors

Lake Charles, Baton Rouge, and the Mississippi River industrial corridor host deep petrochemical and industrial employment that supports steady rental demand.
