@Rashidat T Ijadunola You should use the Bigger Pockets "Find a Lender" tool which can connect you with a DSCR lender. It's under the "build your team" tab above.

Rashidat,
It depends on your goals and what your looking to do and if your planning on using the same bank/lender in the future. Example DSCR is very FICO Score and debt service ratio driven meaning the higher your credit score and higher the Debt ratio the better rates and options. Do you want an ARM product for the lower rate, Do you want an I/O Interest only. Do you need to have a specific prepayment penalty 1,2,3,5 years or None.
Prepayment penalty allows the bank to hold the loan longer so they offer a lower rate. You also have DSCR Elite where if you put down 25% and have a DSCR ratio of 1.25% or higher you get a much lower rate and great I/O options. There are a lot of good DSCR Non/QM lenders out there but the trick is they usually require you to go through a Bank/Lender/Broker.
I'm just trying to get into real estate investing. Can you give me the list of banks that accepts dscr loan?
There are several DSCR lenders. I would recommend speaking with an experienced broker to get to the finish line. Many DSCR lenders have different requirements/guidelines. It's not a one size fits all

Generally not a "bank." Most require large down payment of 20% or more to make the property cash flow. They also have higher FICO requirements. There are about 70 lenders offering this product, a few nationwide, most only in the markets where they are licensed or they "like."
Be ready to tell them: how much liquid assets you have, your FICO score, city where you plan, number of units, sales price/valuation. From this they can tell you on the phone if their product is a match or tell you who has what you need.
