Hey Jimmy, DSCR has become a popular product over the past couple years so finding a lender offering them is not difficult. What you will find difficult is that with the current high rate environment, rents are not covering the mortgage. The nature of a DSCR loan is that the market rent analysis (which is done using recorded lease agreements in the past 12 months for similar properties) aren't covering the mortgage payment resulting in a negative Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR). Most lenders will ask that you make a larger down payment to either get positive or 1:1 ratio, or lower the LTV to reduce the risk from a negative ratio.
I say that to say, I have other alt. financing options that I've been using with my clients that I'd be happy to share with you as well in case it is were something that could help.
