DSCR Requirements for CMBS Loans

In addition to LTV and debt yield, DSCR, or debt service coverage ratio, is one of the most important metrics used by lenders to determine if a borrower is eligible for a CMBS loan. Most CMBS lenders require a property DSCR of at least 1.25x in order to be eligible for a loan.
