In this episode of The MHP Rhino, we tackle one of the most critical metrics in commercial real estate: the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR). Join Barnaby "Barney" Barrows as he demystifies this powerful tool and reveals how it uncovers a property's true financial health.

We’ll break down exactly what DSCR is, why lenders live and die by it, and how to calculate it using a property's Net Operating Income (NOI) and annual debt service. You’ll learn how to interpret different ratios—from a risky DSCR below 1.0 to a healthy one of 1.25 or more—and understand how this single number can make or break your ability to secure financing, assess risk, and grow your portfolio. This episode is your guide to speaking the language of lenders and gaining an undeniable advantage in the MHP investing world.
