In this episode, Todd breaks down one of the most critical metrics in real estate financing: Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR). He explains how DSCR—calculated as Net Operating Income divided by your mortgage payment—represents your margin and directly impacts the safety of your loan. Todd dives into how lenders use DSCR to evaluate risk, why a higher DSCR offers better protection, and what you should consider when choosing a loan. He also discusses how Loan-to-Value (LTV) interacts with DSCR and helps investors make informed decisions.
