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.

Maine market

Why Maine works for investor lending.

Portland has grown into one of the most in-demand Northeast metros. Coastal STR corridors add seasonal income flexibility. Constrained supply supports long-term value.

Portland growth

Portland has become one of the fastest-growing metros in the Northeast, with tech, healthcare, and food-and-beverage employment supporting deep rental demand across the metro.

Coastal STR corridor

Southern Maine and Midcoast Maine host active seasonal STR markets. Our DSCR program supports STR income on qualifying properties.

Constrained supply

Maine housing supply is constrained by both geography and slow permitting timelines, which supports long-term property values and rental rates.
