Key Differentiators

Why investors choose this lender:

  • DSCR loans with no income or employment verification - no tax returns required; underwritten solely on DSCR ratio and credit, with foreign national and LLC acceptance built in
  • 30-year fixed and ARM options on rental loans - 5/1 and 7/1 ARM structures with borrower-driven prepayment buydown to 1 or 2 years for added flexibility
  • Specialty scenarios few lenders touch - including condo conversions, TIC (tenancy-in-common) financing, partner buyouts, vacation rentals, subdivisions, and business-purpose cash-out on primary residences
  • 5-10 day bridge loan close - consistently fast execution from an institutional lender, with a documented 5-day fastest close
