Non-QM and DSCR programs

Non-QM and DSCR program availability, guidelines, minimum ratios, reserve requirements, and pricing vary by scenario and change frequently. DSCR loans described on this site are business-purpose loans for non-owner-occupied investment property only. Down payment ranges, credit minimums, reserve requirements, DSCR thresholds, prepayment penalty structures, and documentation requirements described on this site are typical industry characteristics presented for education, not offers or commitments, and may not reflect currently available programs. Interest-only and extended-amortization features increase the total cost of credit relative to comparable fully amortizing loans.

Calculators & educational content

Calculator results are estimates for illustrative and educational purposes only, are not a quote, rate lock, pre-qualification or pre-approval, and accuracy is not guaranteed. Actual rates, payments, taxes, insurance, qualifying ratios and program minimums vary by scenario. Contact Ashland for figures specific to your situation.

All educational content on this site — including the DSCR hub, glossary, FAQ, and downloadable checklists — is general in nature and provided for informational purposes only. It is not financial, legal, or tax advice, and it does not consider your individual circumstances. Program guidelines change frequently; always confirm current requirements with the team directly. Consult your own tax and legal advisors regarding entity structuring, business-purpose lending, and investment decisions.
