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.

Maryland market

Why Maryland works for investor lending.

Maryland delivers two rental strategies: DC-metro commuter belts (Prince George's, Montgomery) for premium LTR to federal/biotech workers, and Baltimore SFR for cash-flow yield. Both work — pick your play.

DC-metro commuter demand

Prince George's and Montgomery counties are core DC-metro commuter belts. Rental demand from federal workers, contractors, and biotech/pharma employees stays consistent.

Federal + biotech anchors

The Maryland side of the DC metro hosts NIH, FDA, NSA (Fort Meade), and a deep biotech corridor (Bethesda, Rockville, Gaithersburg). Stable long-term employment.

Baltimore SFR depth

Baltimore City and County offer deep SFR inventory with real cash-flow opportunity for portfolio investors focused on income.
