Texas DSCR max LTV by credit score
Your maximum loan-to-value is set by your credit score, loan size, and the property’s debt-service coverage ratio (DSCR). These are the purchase tiers for a DSCR of 1.00 or higher.
| Credit score | Max purchase LTV | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 740+ | 80% | to $2.5M · cash-out to 80% |
| 720 | 80% | to $1.5M · cash-out to 80% |
| 700 | 80% | to $1.5M · 70% to $3.5M |
| 660 | 75% | cash-out to 70% |
| 640 | 75% | to $1M · no cash-out |
Rate/term and cash-out LTVs are lower than purchase. Loans under $150,000 cap at 70% purchase / 65% refinance. Short-term rentals are eligible up to 80% LTV on purchase. Final terms are subject to full underwriting.
