PressWhat Is Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) in Real Estate?
December 17, 2024
Scott Sage
ARTICLE SUMMARY
Your vacation rental's revenue might look great on paper, but lenders care more about what's left after expenses—and that's where DSCR comes in. The debt service coverage ratio in real estate shows whether a property generates enough income to cover its loan payments. You can secure better financing and grow your portfolio more efficiently by understanding and optimizing this crucial metric.
