Why Washington D.C. Investors Choose Waterman Capital for DSCR Loans
Washington D.C.'s robust rental market offers excellent opportunities for real estate investors.

DSCR loans provide a powerful alternative.

- Cash Flow Driven: Our DSCR loans are primarily based on the property's ability to generate rental income, not your personal tax returns. This simplifies the application process.

- Flexible for Diverse Portfolios: Whether you're acquiring your first rental property in Adams Morgan or expanding an existing portfolio in Logan Circle, our DSCR programs are designed for various residential investment strategies.
- Local D.C. Market Expertise: We understand the unique dynamics of the Washington D.C. rental market, from rent comps to neighborhood-specific investment potential, allowing for faster and more accurate underwriting.
Frequently Asked Questions from Washington D.C. Investors
What is a DSCR loan and why is it ideal for D.C. rental properties?
A Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan is a non-QM (non-qualified mortgage) loan for investment properties where eligibility is determined by the property's rental income relative to its mortgage payment. It's ideal for D.C. because it allows investors to qualify based on the property's cash flow, bypassing personal income verification, which is a huge advantage in a competitive and rapidly appreciating market like Washington D.C.
How is the DSCR calculated for my Washington D.C. investment property?
The DSCR is calculated by dividing the property's gross monthly rental income by its total monthly debt service (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and HOA fees). For example, if a D.C. property generates $3,000 in rent and its total monthly payment is $2,000, the DSCR would be 1.5. Lenders typically look for a DSCR of 1.0 or higher.
What types of residential properties qualify for DSCR loans in Washington D.C.?
In Washington D.C., DSCR loans are available for a wide range of residential investment properties including single-family homes, townhouses, condominiums, and multi-unit properties (2-4 units). We also offer DSCR solutions for properties intended for short-term rentals (e.g., Airbnb) where the projected rental income supports the loan.
Can I use a DSCR loan for a refinance in Washington D.C.?
Absolutely. DSCR loans are excellent for refinancing existing D.C. investment properties. Whether you're looking to cash out equity for new investments, lower your interest rate, or simply streamline your existing portfolio without personal income verification, a DSCR refinance can be a highly effective strategy for D.C. real estate investors.
