Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)
Commercial lenders most commonly use the DSCR to determine if a particular commercial property will be able to generate sufficient net operating income (NOI) to service the proposed loan or debt.
The debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) is calculated by dividing the net operating income (NOI) of a property by its annual debt service, which includes interest payments and principal amortization.
