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.

Texas market

Why Texas works for investor lending.

Texas is one of the largest and most active rental investment markets in the United States. The state has no state income tax, landlord-friendly statutes (including a streamlined non-judicial eviction process), and continued population and job growth across major metros — all of which support strong rental demand.

No state income tax

Rental income and capital gains from Texas properties are not subject to state-level income tax. That's a real yield boost that compounds over the life of the hold.

Landlord-friendly statutes

Texas allows non-judicial eviction under standard lease breaches and typical timelines run 30–45 days from filing to writ of possession. No rent control at the state level.

Migration & job growth

Texas continues to lead the country in domestic migration inflow. Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio have all seen sustained population and employment growth that supports rental demand.
