What is a DSCR loan in Connecticut?
A DSCR loan in Connecticut is business-purpose financing for a non-owner-occupied investment property, evaluated using eligible rental income and the full housing payment. Loan Daddy LLC is a mortgage broker, not a lender, that helps investors compare wholesale options while reviewing the municipal tax bill, insurance, legal unit count and rental documentation.
Why investors call us
Why does a DSCR loan focus on rental income?
An income-documented rental loan asks how much you earn. A DSCR loan asks whether the building pays for itself. For self-employed investors, portfolio owners and anyone whose tax returns understate real cash flow, that is the difference between a workable file and a wall.
The ratio is the whole conversation
Rent divided by the full monthly payment — principal, interest, property tax, insurance, flood coverage where required, and association dues. Everything else in the file is secondary to whether that number works.
Connecticut numbers, not a national average
Mill rates differ by town. Insurance differs by address, and the shoreline is its own category. We model the actual tax bill and a real insurance quote, because those two lines decide more deals here than the rate does.
One broker, several wholesale lenders
We are a mortgage broker. We arrange and shop financing from wholesale lenders, so a guideline that sinks one program can be a non-issue at another. You get the comparison, not a single company’s answer.

What should you review before financing a Connecticut triple-decker?
The triple-decker is the workhorse of Connecticut rental housing. Three stacked flats in one envelope produce more rent per dollar of purchase price than a single-family rental in the same neighborhood, which is why the coverage math so often works here and so often fails in markets where houses cost more than they can rent for.
The catch is that this stock is old. Legal unit counts, knob-and-tube wiring, roofs, porches and heating plants all show up in the appraisal and sometimes in the closing conditions. We would rather price those realities before you make an offer than discover them in week three.

Answers
What do Connecticut rental investors ask first?
What is a DSCR loan?
A DSCR loan is business-purpose financing for an investment property that qualifies on the property’s rental income rather than the borrower’s personal income. The lender divides the rent the property supports by the full monthly housing payment. If the resulting ratio clears the program’s floor, the file can move forward without the tax-return and debt-to-income analysis a residential loan requires.
What counts as the monthly payment in the ratio?
Principal and interest, the monthly share of property tax, hazard insurance, flood insurance where required, association dues for a condo or planned-community unit, and any mortgage insurance a program charges. Lenders refer to the total as PITIA. Missing an expense — a flood premium, an association charge — is the most common reason an investor’s own ratio estimate comes in higher than the lender’s.
What DSCR does a lender want to see?
It varies by program, credit profile, loan size and property type, and the same deal may clear one wholesale lender’s floor and miss another’s. Rather than publish a number that will not survive contact with underwriting, we model your scenario against the programs that are actually open to it.
Do I need to document my income?
For most DSCR programs, no. The rent schedule, the leases and the appraisal replace income documentation. Individual lenders may ask for additional items for certain profiles, and we will tell you what a specific program requires before you spend time assembling a file.
