DSCR Loans in Texas & California

Financing for rental purchases and refinances

Buying a rental or refinancing an investment property in Texas or California? Republic Lending Partners helps you compare DSCR and conventional financing, including for properties in Houston and Katy. Request an investor loan quote to discuss your property, expected rent and financing goals.

What is a DSCR loan?

A debt service coverage ratio loan is an investor financing option that evaluates a rental property’s income in relation to its housing payment. Many residential DSCR programs focus on property rental income rather than qualifying solely through the borrower’s personal employment income. Credit, property eligibility, down payment or equity, reserves and other lender requirements still apply.

Compare DSCR and conventional investment loans

Ask us to review the options available for your scenario. Compare interest rate, points, lender fees, cash needed to close, monthly payment, loan term and any prepayment penalty. A lower advertised rate alone does not show the full cost of a loan. Pricing changes and depends on the borrower, property, leverage, program and lock terms.

We serve investors statewide, with a focus on Greater Houston: Katy, Fulshear, Cypress, Richmond, Sugar Land, Rosenberg, Needville, Pearland, Fresno, League City and Galveston. We also work with buyers and realtor partners in Memorial, the Energy Corridor, River Oaks, the Heights and Bellaire.

Investor questions

Can I use a DSCR loan for a rental purchase or refinance?

Purchase and refinance options may be available. The property, occupancy, rental income and lender guidelines determine which programs fit. Ask for a scenario review before making financing assumptions.

Are DSCR rates always the same as conventional rates?

No single comparison applies to every loan. Request current quotes using the same property, loan amount, term and lock period, and compare both the rate and the fees. We will help you review the options available for your investment.

Does meeting a cash-flow ratio guarantee approval?

No. The lender also reviews the other requirements for the selected program. DSCR calculations and minimums vary, so our team will confirm how the specific lender evaluates your property.
