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.

Rhode Island market

Why Rhode Island works for investor lending.

Rhode Island packs a lot into a small footprint: Providence university density drives constant rental demand, Newport supports high-value STR, and the state has become a Boston-metro spillover for cost-conscious commuters.

Providence university density

Providence hosts Brown University, RISD, Providence College, and Johnson & Wales. Deep student and post-grad rental demand year-round.

Newport STR corridor

Newport is one of the most active summer STR markets in the Northeast where zoning permits. Our DSCR program supports STR income scenarios.

Boston-metro spillover

Providence has emerged as a real Boston-metro spillover market as Massachusetts rents rise. Rental demand from Massachusetts commuters stays consistent.
