How to Use This Oregon DSCR Calculator

Enter the gross monthly rental income for your Oregon property (use the $1,650 average or your actual market rent), your loan amount and rate, and your actual property taxes and insurance. The calculator computes the DSCR, NOI, and tells you whether the property meets the 1.00× and 1.25× lender thresholds used by most Oregon DSCR loan programs.

For short-term rental (Oregon STR/Airbnb) DSCR: switch to STR mode and enter your projected nightly rate and occupancy rate. Platform fees (typically 3–5%) are applied to rental income only, not cleaning fees.

Frequently Asked Questions — DSCR in Oregon

What property tax rate should I use for DSCR calculations in Oregon?

The effective property tax rate in Oregon averages approximately 0.97% of assessed value annually. On a $300,000 investment property, that's roughly $2,910 per year, or $242 per month added to your PITIA. Tax rates vary by county and municipality within Oregon — always verify the rate for the specific address.

What is a good DSCR ratio for investment properties in Oregon?

Most DSCR lenders require a minimum ratio of 1.00× (break-even) with 1.25× or higher qualifying for better rates and leverage. In Oregon, accurate property tax modeling is critical because taxes represent a significant share of PITIA. A property that looks cash-flow-positive at 1.05× DSCR with estimated taxes can quickly fall below 1.00× if taxes are underestimated.

Do DSCR loans in Oregon require tax returns or personal income verification?

No. DSCR loans are non-QM investment property loans that qualify based on the rental property's cash flow, not the borrower's personal income or tax returns. Qualification depends on the property's DSCR ratio, the borrower's credit score (typically 660+ minimum), LTV (usually 75–80% max), and post-closing reserves. This makes DSCR loans particularly useful for Oregon investors with high deductions or multiple LLCs.

What is a typical landlord insurance cost for rental properties in Oregon?

Landlord insurance in Oregon averages approximately $900 per year ($75/month). This figure varies based on property age, construction type, claims history, and location within the state. Oregon properties may see higher premiums. Always obtain an actual insurance quote before finalizing your DSCR calculation.

Can I use a DSCR loan for a short-term rental (Airbnb, VRBO) in Oregon?

Yes. Many DSCR lenders offer dedicated STR programs for Oregon investment properties. STR DSCR is calculated using projected short-term rental income — typically verified through AirDNA market data or platform revenue history — with a 25–40% haircut applied to gross projected income to account for seasonality and vacancy. Oregon STR investors should verify local short-term rental regulations, HOA restrictions, and any county or city licensing requirements before applying.
