DSCR Loans in Ohio
Qualify on property cash flow — not personal income
What is a DSCR Loan?
Ohio's rental market offers some of the best cash-on-cash returns in the Midwest. Cleveland and Cincinnati consistently rank among the top cities nationally for rental yield. DSCR financing removes the income documentation barrier so investors can acquire and scale based on property performance alone. Investor1st Funding sources DSCR loans for Ohio investors purchasing or refinancing 1–4 unit rental properties.
How DSCR qualification works:
DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) = Monthly Rental Income ÷ Monthly Loan Payment. A DSCR of 1.0 means the property exactly covers its debt. We typically require a minimum DSCR of 1.0, and stronger ratios may qualify for better rates.
