Debt service coverage ratio determines the maximum LOAN PAYMENT and LOAN AMOUNT that can be placed on a property, based on the property's income... In this video, I show you how it works.
DSCR FORMULAS:
1. Debt Service Coverage Ratio = NOI / Debt Service
2. Maximum Annual Debt Service = NOI / DSCR
Debt Service Coverage Ratio - DSCR is an underwriting term used by lenders that effectively sets a minimum for the amount of net operating income available to cover the debt service. The ratio is often set right around 1.25, sometimes it's 1.2, sometimes it is 1.3, depends on the industry, the market, the market timing, and the product type.
Debt Service Coverage Ratio tells us how much extra cushion we need to have in our net operating income over the debt service or the annual loan payments. In this case, a 1.25 debt service coverage ratio means that the NOI needs to be 125%, or 1.25 times the amount of the annual loan payments. Debt service coverage ratio sets a limit on how much risk the lender's going to take in terms of what they loan compared to the cash flow on the property. They don't want to put borrowers in a position where they have barely enough net income to cover the debt service or, even worse, not enough net income, so the debt service coverage ratio builds in the amount of cushion that they want. Lenders can adjust this for competitive reasons, or market reasons, but it typically is about .25 over the debt service amount.
Example: $100,000 NOI / 1.25 DSCR = $80,000 Max Debt Service

Thanks so much for the explanation and the drawing board. I've been playing around with some of the calculators on some commercial real estate sites and I did not know what the dscr meant. Was trying to figure it out by plugging in different numbers but the negative (-) output that the calculator giving me was confusing me. Now I understand that the negative number is just the debt of the monthly mortgage payment (capped)

@RealEstateFinanceAcademy Жыл бұрын

Hello! You're welcome. I'm glad you like it!... The best way to think about the positive and negative numbers on your financial calculator is to see them as you would see the cash going in & out of your pocket. For example, if you are a borrower and you are receiving a loan, the loan amount (PV) would be positive cash flow into your pocket, and the loan payments (PMT) would be negative because they are cash out of your pocket back to the lender. The lender's perspective would be the opposite - the cash to the borrower in the beginning (PV) would be negative because it's cash out of their pocket, and the payments back to the lender (PMT) would be positive. Both methods work the same way. I'll post some more videos on using Financial Calculators, and I'll add some free resources on how to use a Financial Calculator on my website trevorcalton.com Thanks again for your comments and for watching! - Trevor

I think I'm calculating DSCR correctly, but does NOI equal revenue subtracted by the annual debt payment? I'm calculating NOI as revenue - operating expenses (excluding debt), and dividing that sum by annual debt payments.

Your explanation was fabulous, great video. However, I had one question at the end. If with a NOI of 100,000, a DS or loan amount of 80,000 is obtained annually, why does it result in a loan amount of 1,112,000 over 35 years?

@RealEstateFinanceAcademy 7 ай бұрын

Thank you! The ‘Annual Debt Service’ is 80k. They derive the loan amount by dividing that by 12, determining the maximum monthly payment, then backing into the number of how large of a loan that payment will support. Does that help? - Trevor

@jorgenicolasgonzalez419 7 ай бұрын

@@RealEstateFinanceAcademy Of course, now I understand. By determining the monthly payment, they can calculate how much to borrow for 35 or 30 years. Thank you very much for the response.

Hi, Trevor. What should an average DSCR be for new investors who are using syndicators for their first deal? I'm trying to underwrite deals as a beginner, but I need to know what my dscr should be if I use investors to fund the down payment.

@RealEstateFinanceAcademy Күн бұрын

Each lender sets their own DSCR, and not all of them will penalize you for having limited partners, so you can stick with 1.25 or add 10 bps to be safe. It really depends on a number of factors - property size, type, location, sponsor strength, etc. - and how they impact overall risk. Connect with me and let’s discuss. Hope that helps! - Trevor

Hello, I would like to calculate the maximum amount of debt that my fictitious company can borrow. But how do I determine the respective CFADS if I don't know my interest charge yet? As a tax shield, this has an influence on my tax load and thus on the CFADS. I would be very happy if someone could answer me.

@RealEstateFinanceAcademy Жыл бұрын

Hi Jan. Happy new year. DSCR is calculated on the PRE-tax cash flow, not your after-tax, and it's specifically for real estate loans. For business loans, you would look at your EBITDA which is Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization. In other words, your loan would be based on your PRE-tax cash flow, not after-tax cash flow. The interest expense from the loan will likely lower your tax liability, as well... Hope this helps. If not, feel free to shoot me a note with more questions. - Trevor

Would you use the Net operating income, EBITDA, or Net income?

@RealEstateFinanceAcademy 4 жыл бұрын

Always use Net Operating Income. EBITDA is effectively the same thing, but that and Net Income are accounting terms, not a real estate terms. Check out my lesson on Net Operating Income for more details. 👍🏻

@nbafashion75 4 жыл бұрын

@@RealEstateFinanceAcademy Im using this ratio to evaluate business acquisitions. Would you still recommend using net operating income or net income? Wouldn't net income be a more true value of how much debt you can service? Since you would still have to pay taxes, and interest regardless?

@wellactiv 4 жыл бұрын

so if your DSCR was 2 and your net operating income is 100k would your annual debt service 200K is that correct ?

@RealEstateFinanceAcademy 4 жыл бұрын

No, divide your NOI by the DSCR, so $100k / 2.0 = $50k maximum annual Debt Service... Side note: A DSCR of 2 is much higher than conventional lenders require. Most only require about 1.2 - 1.4. What type of loan are you looking at? - Trevor

It sounds like you have been talking to residential home lenders. DSCR loans only apply to income-producing properties, typically commercial properties, with stable cash flow. They are also usually larger loans for properties minimum value $2+ million, but not always. Happy to point you in the right direction if you send more info. - Trevor

Hi Alex! If the NOI is $100k and can be a max of 1.25x the annual debt service, then ( 100,000/1.25 = $80,000 ) so the max debt service can be is $80k. Hope that helps.
