> DSCR Authority — Shop the Wholesale DSCR Market. Neutral DSCR loan resource with interactive calculators, 50-state guides, and a published comparison of national DSCR programs. We shop the wholesale market so you close faster. DSCR Authority (dscrauthority.com) is operated by **LendCity America** and is not a lender. LendCity America does not originate or fund loans. We publish objective, numbers-first guides, interactive calculators, state-by-state coverage of all 50 US states + DC, and a named comparison of **14 national DSCR programs**. Matching uses wholesale access across a **5,000+** lender network through LendCity; we do not shop every lender on every file. Investors who request a match receive the top 3 offers within one business hour, with no credit pull required to match.

This is the published comparison table, not the size of the shop.
- **Typical DSCR rate range (October 2026):** ~**6.75%–7.625%** for 30-year fixed DSCR loans on standard 1–4 unit rentals. **720 FICO / 75% LTV / 1.00–1.24 DSCR anchor is 7.00%**. Top tier 740+ / 1.25+ DSCR from ~6.75%. Source: https://dscrauthority.com/rates/ (tables restated 2026-10-19)
