A DSCR loan may offer a way to buy your first rental without a traditional paycheck. Lenders still review the property’s rental income, your credit, and the cash you have available. In this episode of Truss Talk, Jeff Miller (CEO) and Jason Nichols (CMO) explain how lenders compare rent with the loan payment, taxes, insurance, and HOA dues. They cover down payments, closing costs, reserves, and how eligibility for first-time investors varies by program. They also discuss why realistic rent estimates and a clear understanding of prepayment penalties matter before committing to a loan. Considering your first rental purchase?
