    DSCR Investor Loans in Missouri

    Last updated October 14, 2026

    ABS Home Mortgage offers DSCR loans for rental property investors in Missouri. A DSCR (debt service coverage ratio) loan qualifies the property on its rental income rather than your personal tax returns, so it suits self-employed investors, investors with many properties, and borrowers whose tax returns understate their income. Programs, eligibility and terms vary by property and borrower, subject to underwriting.

    Rental property investing in Missouri

    Missouri's effective property tax rate is about 0.89% of home value (Tax Foundation). Residential property, including rentals, is assessed at 19% of market value (RSMo 137.115).

    Landlord-tenant basics: security deposits are capped at two months' rent and must be returned, or deductions itemized, within 30 days (RSMo 535.300). State law bars cities and counties from regulating rents (RSMo 441.043).

    Kansas City's short-term rental rules center on owner-occupied homes, so a pure investment property may not qualify as a short-term rental there. Check the city's current rules first.

    For legal or tax questions, confirm with your attorney or tax advisor.
