DSCR vs Bridge Loans

A bridge loan covers a gap. A DSCR loan is where you land once the property is stabilized.

Bridge loans

  • Short terms, often 6 to 24 months
  • Used when a property isn't yet rentable or financeable long-term
  • Usually interest-only

DSCR loans

  • Long-term financing for a rented or rent-ready property

The handoff

Plan the DSCR refinance before the bridge loan matures. See bridge to DSCR.
