International investors may have access to Foreign National DSCR financing in Florida based primarily on the rental property's economics rather than conventional U.S. employment-income qualification. Credit documentation, LTV, reserves, vesting and overseas-closing requirements vary by lender and program.
A DSCR loan — Debt Service Coverage Ratio loan — is an investment property mortgage that qualifies based on the rental income of the property, not the borrower's personal income. This makes it one of the most accessible financing structures for international investors purchasing U.S. rental property.
The DSCR ratio is calculated by dividing the property's gross monthly rent by the total monthly PITIA payment — Principal, Interest, Property Taxes, Insurance and Association dues, if applicable.
A DSCR of 1.0 means the rent exactly covers the payment. A DSCR above 1.0 means the rent exceeds the payment — generating positive projected cash flow. Most analyzed Florida opportunities on this platform show DSCRs of 1.25 to 1.55 depending on financing structure and property type.
DSCR Formula: Monthly Gross Rent ÷ Monthly PITIA = DSCR Ratio
Example: $2,890 rent ÷ $2,268 PITIA = 1.274 DSCR — meaning the rent covers the payment with a 27.4% cushion. The property generates projected positive cash flow of $622/month before vacancy and maintenance.
Every investment opportunity on this platform is modeled across all three available financing structures so you can compare projected cash flow, DSCR, and annualized yield before committing. The right structure depends on your goals.
The most common structure. Fixed payment for 30 years — predictable, stable, and straightforward. Lower monthly cash flow than other structures but builds equity over time.
Extended amortization reduces the monthly payment, producing higher monthly cash flow than the 30-year fixed. A strong balance between cash flow and long-term stability.
Lowest monthly payment of the three structures — producing the highest projected initial cash flow and highest DSCR. Maximum yield on deployed capital during the interest-only period.
Examples based on $399,900 purchase price, $2,890/mo estimated rent, 5.99% illustrative interest rate, 70% LTV, 1.5% property tax, 0.275% insurance. PITIA = Principal, Interest, Property Taxes, Insurance and Association dues, if applicable. Projected estimates only — not a guarantee of future performance. All financing subject to qualification through licensed U.S. lending professionals.
Conventional mortgages are designed for U.S. residents with domestic income, tax history, and credit scores. For international investors, DSCR loans are specifically structured to bypass these requirements entirely — qualifying the loan on the investment property's performance instead.

| U.S. Tax Returns | 2 years required | Not required |
| W2 / Pay Stubs | Required | Not required |
| Qualifies On | Personal income and employment | Property rental income only |
| Down Payment | 20–25% for investment properties | 30% minimum (70% LTV) |
| Remote Closing | Difficult for non-residents | Standard practice |
| LLC / Entity Vesting | Difficult | Available |
