DSCR Loan Rates Today [July 2026]
DSCR loan rates are the interest rates on investment-property mortgages underwritten on the property's rental income (DSCR = rent ÷ PITIA), not the borrower's personal income. As of July 11, 2026, a standard file (720 FICO, 75% LTV, 1.00–1.24 DSCR) anchors near 6.75% on a 30-year fixed; top-tier files (740+ FICO, 1.25+ DSCR) start around 6.125%–6.50%. Tables below show blended multi-lender baselines (typically ~1 point) by credit tier, LTV, and DSCR ratio — refreshed every Monday from our DSCR lender network's broker rate sheets. Single-lender “par / 0-point” marketing quotes can print lower; lockable pricing still depends on the full file.
These are blended market baselines for an LLC-vested DSCR loan on a 1-4 unit rental. Your real quote depends on state, property type, loan size, prepay structure, and points. Want a lockable number? Get matched with the top 3 offers.

Rate methodology
Every Monday we pull broker-facing rate sheets from the DSCR lenders in our active network, strip out per-lender margin and state adjusters, and publish the blended median for a clean scenario: LLC-vested, 1-4 unit rental, no points beyond a 1-point buydown, 5-year step-down prepay, 60-day lock.
Individual lender rates on any given day will be ±0.25% of these tables. Some lenders will be materially higher on credit below 680; others will be lower on deals above 720. The value of these tables is as a sanity check — if a lender quotes you +0.75% over this table, there's either a deal-specific adjuster (state, prepay, property type) or a better price somewhere else.
We do not accept paid placement. No lender pays to be included or to nudge their numbers lower on this page.
What drives DSCR rates
- Credit (FICO): The biggest single driver. Each 20-point FICO band is typically worth 0.125%-0.25%.
- LTV: Each 5% LTV step adds about 0.125%. Going above 75% LTV is where most lenders start adding meaningful bumps.
- DSCR ratio: A DSCR above 1.25 earns the best tier. Between 1.00 and 1.24 is standard. Below 1.00 (including no-ratio) adds 0.25%-0.50%.
- Property type: 1-unit SFR is the base. 2-4 unit adds 0-0.25%. Condo adds 0.125%-0.25%. Non-warrantable condo and short-term rental add more.
- State: Judicial foreclosure states and high-cost-to-lender states (NY, NJ, IL, and occasionally FL on some sheets) carry adjusters of 0.125%-0.25%.
- Loan amount: Below $150K and above $2M both add premium. The sweet spot is $200K-$1.5M.
- Prepayment penalty: Choosing a 5-year step-down earns the best rate. Shorter or no prepay adds 0.25%-0.50%. See the prepayment penalties guide.
Historical trend: Q1 2025 → Q1 2026
DSCR rates entered 2025 in the 7.75%-8.25% range at our 720/75/1.10 anchor, tracked the broader rate environment lower through the summer, and settled near 7.00% entering Q4 2025. H1–mid 2026 saw further compression as agency MBS spreads tightened and non-QM investor appetite returned; the current 720/75/1.00–1.24 anchor sits near 6.75%. Freddie Mac's owner-occupied 30-year fixed benchmark averaged 6.49% for the week of July 9, 2026 (up from 6.43% the prior week). Near-term direction is range-bound: we expect baseline pricing to stay between roughly 6.25% and 7.00% through H2 2026 absent a macro shock.
Investment property mortgage rates — DSCR vs conventional
"Investment property mortgage rates" searches often compare agency conventional pricing to non-QM DSCR. As of July 2026, the typical spread is 0.5%–1.0% above owner-occupied conventional — and DSCR runs roughly 0.5%–1.0% above conventional investment property for the same credit profile.
| Product | 720 FICO / 75% LTV anchor | Qualification basis |
|---|---|---|
| Owner-occupied conventional | ~5.75%–6.25% | Personal income + DTI |
| Conventional investment property | ~6.25%–6.75% | Income + DTI + 15–25% down |
| DSCR (this page's tables) | 6.75% | Property rent / PITIA — no personal income |
When DSCR prices below conventional investment: Strong profiles (740+ FICO, 75% LTV or lower, 1.25+ DSCR, SFR in a competitive lender state) sometimes land within 0.25% of conventional investment pricing when lenders compete on broker volume. Conventional still wins on absolute rate when you qualify — DSCR wins on documentation flexibility and unlimited financed-property count.
