Built for your strategy

One lender. Every investor play.

Whatever the deal in front of you looks like, there's a DSCR structure that fits it.

ACQUIRE

Buy the next rental with the rent, not your résumé.

Purchase single-family, 2–4 unit, condo, or small multifamily with strong leverage — qualified on projected rent. Perfect for W-2 earners maxed on DTI and self-employed investors alike.

  • Competitive down-payment options
  • Close in an LLC to protect the asset
  • Unlimited financed properties

REFINANCE

Pull your equity out — tax-free — and redeploy it.

Cash-out refinance against the equity in your stabilized rentals. Turn trapped equity into the down payment on your next two doors without touching your personal income.

  • No seasoning games on most files
  • Use proceeds for reserves or acquisition
  • Interest-only options to maximize cash flow

  • Market revenue data accepted
  • Second-home & investment STR eligible
  • No minimum DSCR programs available

Questions, answered

The DSCR
fine print.

Straight answers on how these loans actually work. Still stuck? Call Robert

What's the minimum DSCR to qualify?

Most programs want a 1.00–1.25 ratio, meaning the rent covers the mortgage payment (PITIA). We also offer no-minimum-DSCR options for strong properties that cash flow under 1.0 — you'd just bring a bit more down or accept slightly higher pricing.

How is a short-term rental's income counted?

For Airbnb/VRBO properties we can underwrite using market revenue projections rather than a long-term lease estimate — which usually unlocks far more borrowing power in vacation and high-yield nightly markets.

Can I close in an LLC?

Yes — DSCR loans are business-purpose loans, so closing title in an LLC or corporation is standard. It's one of the biggest reasons serious investors choose DSCR over conventional financing.

What credit score and reserves do I need?

We work with a wide range of credit profiles — stronger credit simply earns stronger pricing. Reserves are typically a few months of PITIA and can often be held in the business. No debt-to-income calculation is run against your personal finances. Exact requirements depend on your scenario, so it's best to get a quick custom quote.

Is there a prepayment penalty?

Many DSCR programs carry a prepay structure (commonly a 3–5 year step-down) in exchange for better rates. We'll show you options with and without a prepay so you can pick what fits your hold strategy.

How many properties can I finance?

There's no Fannie/Freddie 10-property cap here. Because each loan stands on its own property's cash flow, you can keep financing doors as long as the deals qualify — which is exactly how investors scale with us.
