1.00Min. DSCR ratio

One of the strongest markets in Queens for two- to four-family and co-op financing - a favorite for house-hackers who want rental income under their own roof. Rental demand in Ridgewood makes it a common target for DSCR buyers — the loan qualifies off the property's rent-to-payment ratio, not your personal income or tax returns.

The math for a Ridgewood rental

Monthly Rent ÷ Monthly PITIA = DSCR

Above 1.00 means the rent covers the mortgage payment. A property in Ridgewood renting for $2,700/mo against a $2,000 PITIA scores a 1.35 DSCR — the strong-deal tier with the best pricing and max LTV. Properties below 1.00 can still qualify at a reduced LTV (No-Ratio option).

Good to know

DSCR in Ridgewood — questions answered

Can I use a DSCR loan to buy a rental in Ridgewood?+
Yes. DSCR loans qualify off the property's rent-to-payment ratio, not your personal income, tax returns, or existing debts — a common choice for buyers building a portfolio in Ridgewood.
What DSCR ratio do I need to buy in Ridgewood?+
1.00 or higher qualifies at standard pricing and max LTV. Below 1.00, some lenders still fund at a reduced 65-70% LTV under a No-Ratio option — common on lower-rent single-family deals.
Do I need tax returns to close a DSCR loan in Ridgewood?+
No — no 1040s, K-1s, or W-2s. Rent is the qualifier. You can also close in the name of an LLC or S-corp, with a personal guaranty.
