Lendmire expands DSCR investor loan programs into 40 states and Washington D.C., offering rental income–based mortgage financing nationwide.
Lendmire, a national mortgage brokerage recognized as a Scotsman Guide Top Mortgage Workplace in 2025 and 2026, announced the expansion of its DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) investor loan programs into 40 states and Washington D.C.
DSCR financing gives investors a scalable path to grow portfolios using rental income rather than personal tax returns, expanding flexibility across markets.”
— Brandon Miller, Founder, Lendmire
The expansion applies specifically to Lendmire’s DSCR investor loan platform and significantly increases access to rental income–based mortgage financing for real estate investors nationwide.
While Lendmire’s traditional retail mortgage operations remain licensed in select states, the company’s DSCR investor loan programs now serve borrowers across 40 states and Washington D.C. through its expanded wholesale investor lending platform.
DSCR loans—also referred to as rental income loans, cash-flow loans, or investor non-QM mortgages—allow real estate investors to qualify primarily based on property performance rather than personal income documentation such as tax returns or W-2s.
As demand for flexible real estate investment financing continues to grow nationwide, DSCR lending has become one of the fastest-expanding segments of the non-QM mortgage market.
Under Lendmire’s DSCR platform, qualification is based on a property’s rental income compared to its housing expense. DSCR is calculated by dividing gross rental income by PITIA (Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance, and HOA dues). For interest-only loans, qualification may use ITIA.

A DSCR ratio of 1.00 indicates the property’s rental income fully covers the housing expense. Certain programs allow lower DSCR thresholds depending on structure and underwriting guidelines.
