What Is A DSCR Loan?
A DSCR loan is a nprogram for rental properties that allows real estate investors to qualify based on property income instead of personal income. With DSCR loans, Ridge Street measures whether the rent covers the property’s principal, interest, taxes, insurance payment and association fees (PITIA). DSCR loans are one of the most popular loan programs for Oklahoma real estate investors because they are highly scalable and work well with popular investing strategies like the BRRRR Method and Buy & Hold strategies.
How to Calculate the DSCR for Your Rental?
The equation for calculating DSCR is:
DSCR = Rent / (Principal & Interest + Taxes + Insurance)
Rent = Appraised Long Term Market Rent or Projected Short Term Market Rents from AirDNA
Principal & Interest = Monthly Mortgage Payment
Taxes = Monthly Property Taxes
Insurance = Monthly Property Insurance
Use our DSCR Calculator to check the debt service coverage ratio of your Oklahoma rental property.
DSCR Loan Down Payment Requirements?
When purchasing a property with a DSCR loan, investors are typically required to put down 20% of the purchase price. In addition to the down payment, they must cover closing costs out of pocket. Ridge Street also requires proof of reserves, six months of mortgage payments (PITI), in the investor’s bank account to meet the loan’s liquidity requirements.
See the DSCR Loan Requirements section of this page for detailed breakdown.
DSCR Loan V.S. Conventional Loan?
- DSCR Loans are designed for real estate investors and qualify based on the property’s rental income rather than the borrower’s personal income or tax returns. They offer faster approvals and more flexibility, but usually come with higher interest rates and larger down payment requirements.
- Conventional Loans rely on the borrower’s W-2 income and debt-to-income ratio. They often provide lower rates and smaller down payments, but the documentation and qualification process is stricter, making them less investor-friendly.
Long Term Rental V.S. Short Term Rentals?
DSCR loans in Oklahoma can finance both long-term rentals (LTRs) and short-term rentals (STRs). For LTRs, the DSCR calculation is based on the appraised market rent. For STRs, it uses projected short-term income from AirDNA (see our Airbnb Loans page).
Short-term rentals often generate higher cash flow, while long-term rentals may offer slightly lower rates compared to DSCR loans for Airbnb properties.

Best Rental Markets in Oklahoma for DSCR Loans
Oklahoma offers investors a combination of landlord-friendly state law, low property taxes, and acquisition prices well below the national median. The state's strong energy, aerospace, and healthcare sectors drive steady rental demand across its urban markets, while the cabin short-term rental market in southeastern Oklahoma operates on an entirely different set of economics. Long-term rentals in Oklahoma City and Tulsa benefit from stable employment bases and vacancy rates that have held consistently below national averages, while short-term rentals in the Broken Bow and Hochatown area draw weekend travelers from several major metros within a half-day drive. Investors can use DSCR loans to finance both strategies, qualifying on rental income rather than personal income and scaling without the property count limits that conventional financing imposes. Oklahoma's affordability and landlord-friendly regulatory environment make it one of the more accessible states for building a cash-flowing rental portfolio.
Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City offers affordable acquisition prices, cap rates that outperform many larger metros, and vacancy rates that have held consistently low, driven by aerospace, healthcare, and energy sector employment. Tinker Air Force Base adds a distinct demand layer, with properties near the base drawing a reliable tenant pool of active-duty personnel and DoD civilians who tend to stay for extended periods. Low property taxes and landlord-friendly state law reduce the operating cost side of the DSCR equation. For investors building a rental portfolio across multiple acquisitions, OKC is one of the more straightforward Oklahoma markets to scale.
Tulsa
Tulsa combines affordable entry points with a diversified employment base across aerospace, healthcare, and energy sectors. Rents have grown steadily, vacancy remains low, and the University of Tulsa, Oral Roberts University, and OSU-Tulsa generate a student tenant base that offsets energy sector volatility. Tulsa carries no city-level STR ordinance, making it a lower-friction market for investors running a short-term rental strategy alongside a long-term rental portfolio. Acquisition prices and rental demand both support strong DSCR qualification on standard program terms.
