The acronym DSCR is one of many in the finance sector. It is critical to real estate investing, and practically every lender considers it when evaluating projects. A debt-service-coverage ratio (DSCR) is an abbreviated version of the debt-service-coverage ratio. It’s a closely studied metric that’s frequently used to underwrite long-term debt. It also allows lenders to decide whether particular assets are eligible for a business mortgage.

The DSCR is a formula that is used to determine if a property (or a portfolio of assets) can be equivalent to and serve as payment for a loan. In a nutshell, it assesses the property’s ability to pay principal and interest from the proceeds of the sale. Thus, DSCR is the ratio of income earned to the amount owing to the lender in terms of math.

How is DSCR Calculated?

The debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) is calculated by dividing the NOI (Net Operating Income) by the debt service. Unfortunately, the calculation of NOI frequently leads to misunderstanding or controversy. When calculating NOI, it’s crucial to account for the assumptions that most lenders will make rather than solely using real expenses. Calculating vacancies and property management are two other areas where there is much ambiguity.
