If they will do a loan with less than 1, the pricing takes a hit.I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23It's a great way to increase your net worth and these loans can also be used to pull cash out of a property as it appreciates allowing you to reinvest money into new deals.

Eric Williams Oversimplified Cost Seg Example
15 October 2023 | 1 reply
Quote from @Eric Williams: Let's say a rental property gets 12k in rental income, passive.Cost seg gets 50k, resulting in passive activity loss of around 38k.The amount of passive losses carries from the Sch E to the 8582 to determine the loss allowed.In this case I assume no other passive activities and no active participation exception.In this case the amount paid for the cost seg is worthless and may be for several years, especially considering rent may stay stable while other expenses have not been accounted for which add to the depreciation carryforward and add to the chance of limitation (in this very over simplified example).No losses are allowed on Schedule E, which flows to Schedule 1, to the front page of the 1040.Again, just a simple demonstration of the flow of the return.I just found this spreadsheet to illustrate that as the carryforward progresses, it loses value as the deduction benefits are delayed.
