DSCR Loans FAQs — Illinois
How is DSCR calculated for Illinois investment properties?
DSCR = Monthly Rental Income ÷ Monthly PITIA (Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance, and Association dues). A DSCR of 1.0 means the property breaks even; most Illinois lenders prefer 1.0–1.25 or higher. Nathan can help you calculate DSCR for any Illinois investment property.
Can I use Airbnb income for a DSCR loan in Illinois?
Yes! Many DSCR lenders in Illinois now accept short-term rental income from platforms like Airbnb and VRBO. Lenders typically use a percentage of trailing 12-month revenue from the platform's earnings summary. Illinois has some of the most active STR markets in the country.
What is the minimum down payment for a DSCR loan in Illinois?
Most DSCR lenders require 20–25% down for Illinois investment properties. Rates and terms improve with larger down payments. Some lenders allow cash-out refinances on existing Illinois investment properties with sufficient equity.
Do I need tax returns for a DSCR loan in Illinois?
No — that's the beauty of DSCR loans! You don't need tax returns, W-2s, pay stubs, or personal income verification. The Illinois property's rental income is what matters. This is ideal for self-employed Illinois investors whose tax returns show significant deductions.
