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.

Michigan market

Why Michigan works for investor lending.

Michigan pairs Detroit metro EV/auto comeback with Grand Rapids growth and Ann Arbor / East Lansing university stability. Detroit and Flint offer some of the highest cash-flow SFR yields in the country for portfolio investors.

Detroit auto + EV comeback

The Detroit metro has been rebuilding around EV manufacturing (Ford, GM, Stellantis), tech, and financial services (Rocket, Dan Gilbert investments). Rental demand across the metro has strengthened.

Grand Rapids growth

Grand Rapids has been one of the fastest-growing Midwest metros over the past decade, with medical, education, and manufacturing employers anchoring long-term demand.

University + cash-flow mix

Ann Arbor (Michigan) and East Lansing (MSU) provide premium university-anchored demand. Detroit and Flint offer some of the highest cash-flow yields in the Midwest.
