Payment period in years.
Lenders set their own "Debt Service Coverage Ratios" for the income (cash flow) required to service the amount and terms of a loan/mortgage. A typical ratio is 1.25, but can be higher or lower depending on the loan and lender. The DSCR required for a new loan can vary by lender, asset quality, equity and other factors. You should check with your lender to determine the required DSCR for your existing or new loan.

EBITDARM represents earnings before interest, taxes (income), depreciation, amortization, rent and management fees. This represents net operating income before 'provision for management fees' and after property expenses associated with real estate taxes and insurance.
Lenders typically require a provision for management costs of not less than 5% of revenue. The resulting EBITDAR represents operating cash flow available for debt service (or rent as applicable), before provision for capital expenditures.
