3 DSCR Loan Myths That Are Killing Your Deals Ep 371

DSCR loans are powerful tools for scaling a rental portfolio—but they’re also blowing up thousands of deals right before closing. In this episode of Chasing Financial Freedom, Ryan DeMent breaks down three of the biggest DSCR myths: that your personal finances don’t matter, that a 1.0 DSCR guarantees approval, and that you can calculate DSCR using simple gross rent ÷ mortgage math. You’ll learn what lenders actually look for (credit score, reserves, real DSCR thresholds, and NOI-based calculations with full PITI, vacancy, and conservative market rent) so you can underwrite deals like a pro, avoid last‑minute denials, and only spend time and money on properties that will truly get funded.
