What is a good DSCR ratio?

Most lenders want a DSCR of at least 1.0, meaning the property's income covers the debt payments. A DSCR of 1.25+ gets you better rates and terms.

Can I get a DSCR loan with no money down?

No. DSCR loans typically require 20-25% down. Some lenders may accept cross-collateralization to reduce cash needed.

Do DSCR loans show on my credit report?

It depends on the lender. Some report to credit bureaus, others don't. Ask your lender before closing.

Can I use a DSCR loan for a short-term rental?

Yes. Many DSCR lenders accept Airbnb/VRBO income. They typically use projected rental income from platforms like AirDNA or actual booking history.

Columbus Commercial Real Estate Market

Columbus is one of the fastest-growing major metros in the Midwest, consistently adding population and employment at rates exceeding Ohio's other large cities, driven by a diversified economy anchored by Ohio State University, state government, and a booming logistics sector. The Short North Arts District and German Village neighborhoods adjacent to downtown command premium rents for retail and mixed-use properties, while the Rickenbacker Inland Port area in the south metro has become one of the top distribution and logistics hubs in the eastern United States. Intel's $20 billion semiconductor fabrication complex in nearby New Albany is the single largest private-sector investment in Ohio history, expected to transform the northeast suburban submarket. The Arena District and Franklinton neighborhoods represent active redevelopment zones where former industrial land is being converted to office, residential, and entertainment uses.

Key Economic Drivers

●Intel's $20 billion semiconductor fab complex in New Albany catalyzing industrial and workforce housing demand
●Ohio State University, the state's largest employer, driving research commercialization and campus-area CRE absorption
●Rickenbacker Inland Port and logistics hub attracting Amazon, FedEx, and e-commerce fulfillment demand
●Nationwide Insurance, Cardinal Health, and L Brands headquarters sustaining downtown and suburban office markets

Market Insight

Columbus's Rickenbacker Inland Port has been designated a Foreign Trade Zone and offers direct rail connections via Norfolk Southern and CSX, making it one of the most efficient intermodal logistics locations in the eastern U.S. and driving industrial vacancy rates well below the national average.
