DSCR Loans in 2026: How to Keep Buying When Banks Say No Ep 360

DSCR loans in 2026 may be the difference between growing your real estate portfolio and getting capped out by local banks. In this episode, Ryan breaks down how DSCR (debt service coverage ratio) loans let investors keep buying cash-flowing properties without blowing up their personal DTI, even as the market cools and lending tightens.​

You’ll hear a clear refresher on what DSCR loans are, why they’re designed for investment properties and short‑term rentals, and the DSCR ratios you should aim for so you’re not stuck with a deal that doesn’t cash flow when hard money comes due. Ryan also talks about overestimating rents, the importance of your all‑in number, and why a DSCR below 1 is a red flag you should walk away from.​

He shares real-time observations from the Phoenix market—longer days on market, repeated price reductions, and institutional landlords cutting rents on single‑family rentals—and what could happen if hedge funds start unloading properties in 2026. You’ll also hear why tech and AI will be a key edge for investors who want to analyze deals and markets faster.​

If you’re serious about using DSCR loans to scale your investing in 2026, this conversation will help you think more clearly about financing, risk, and opportunity.
