DSCR Below 1.0 and No-Ratio Programs

If the rent doesn't fully cover the payment, some programs may still work, usually with a bigger down payment.

Ways to improve the ratio

  • Put more down to lower the payment
  • Look at an interest-only or 40-year option
  • Shop insurance and appeal property taxes
  • Raise the rent to market at lease renewal

No-ratio programs

Some programs don't require a minimum ratio at all. They usually come with larger down payments and more reserves.
