How a DSCR loan works

A DSCR loan qualifies you on the property's monthly rent instead of your personal income. The lender divides the rent by the monthly payment — principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and any HOA dues ("PITIA"). That ratio is your DSCR: 1.00 means the rent exactly covers the payment, and anything above 1.00 means the property cash-flows. Run your numbers in the DSCR calculator, then get your exact rate from KNB Capital.

North Carolina DSCR loan FAQs

Can I get a DSCR loan in North Carolina?

Yes. KNB Capital arranges DSCR (debt-service coverage ratio) loans on 1–8 unit investment properties across North Carolina, qualifying you on the property's rent rather than your personal income or tax returns.

How is DSCR calculated?

DSCR = monthly rent ÷ monthly PITIA (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and HOA dues). A 1.00 means the rent covers the payment; above 1.00 means it cash-flows. Use the calculator to see your number instantly.

What DSCR do I need to qualify in North Carolina?

Many programs start at a 1.00 ratio; some allow ratios down to about 0.75, or even no-ratio structures with a larger down payment. A higher DSCR earns better pricing.

Do I need tax returns or income docs?

No. DSCR loans are based on the property's rent, so they typically don't require tax returns, pay stubs, or W-2s — ideal for self-employed investors.

How much down payment is required?

Most DSCR loans need roughly 20–25% down, depending on your DSCR, credit, and the property. A larger down payment can offset a lower DSCR.

Can I close in an LLC?

Yes. DSCR loans are business-purpose loans and can usually be vested in an LLC — a common choice for investors holding rental property.

What property types qualify in North Carolina?

Single-family rentals, condos, townhomes, and 2–8 unit properties throughout North Carolina, including the Charlotte metro.

Can interest-only payments help me qualify?

Yes. An interest-only payment lowers your monthly PITIA, which raises your DSCR. The calculator has an interest-only toggle so you can compare.
