DSCR RENTAL FINANCING

The Bank Said 10 Properties. We Say 100.

Leverage Up to 80% LTV

Maximum leverage on acquisitions and rate/term refinances. 75% LTV on cash-out refinances — pull equity from your existing portfolio to fund the next acquisition.

Rates From 5.99%

30-year fixed and adjustable rate options. Interest-only available for maximum monthly cash flow. Lock in long-term rates before the next acquisition.

No Cap No Limit on Properties

Build a portfolio of 5, 10, 50, or 100+ units. Unlike Fannie/Freddie, we don’t cap the number of financed properties you can own.

Underwriting Property Cash Flow Only

No tax returns. No W-2s. No DTI calculation. We underwrite the property’s debt service coverage ratio — if it pencils, it qualifies.

HML, and specifically Ethan, has been great to work with. They understand real estate and construction, and their underwriting is more than fair. I can finally scale with a financial partner, instead of using my capital…

Marc Rutenberg Homes worked on a construction loan with Eric from HML. Eric orchestrated everything so smoothly, he was on top of all the documents needed, made sure everything was received and forwarded to the correct people. He was a pleasure to work with and look forward to working with them in the future.

Why Your Bank Stops at 10 Properties — And What to Do About It.

This is the single most common conversation we have with rental investors. The math behind why your local bank or conventional lender keeps saying "no" — and the structural workaround.

Fannie Mae limits an individual borrower to 10 financed properties total. That includes your primary residence, your second home, and every rental you own with a conventional loan. Once you hit 10, conventional lending shuts off. Period.

Most investors don’t realize this until they’re at property #8 and suddenly hearing “we can’t help you with this one.” Then they have a choice: stop scaling, sell winners to clear room, or shift to non-QM lending.

The fix is DSCR. Our DSCR loans are non-QM — they don’t count against Fannie’s cap. There’s no limit on how many properties you can own with us. We’ve worked with investors holding 5 units, 25 units, 80 units, and 150+ units across multiple states.

One Loan for the Whole Stack.

Most DSCR investors start single-property and graduate to portfolio loans as the count grows. Here’s when each makes sense.

BRIDGE LOAN

Best for: Investors acquiring 1–4 properties at a time

Single Property DSCR

Standard non-QM rental loan. One property, one loan, one closing. Use it for new acquisitions, rate/term refinances out of bridge or hard money, and cash-out refinances on appreciated properties.

STABILIZATION

Best for: Investors with established or growing portfolios

Portfolio DSCR (5+ Properties)

A single blanket loan that bundles 5 or more rental properties into one closing. One set of documents. One monthly payment. Cross-collateralized so equity in one property supports leverage on another.

Not sure which is right? Most investors at 5–15 properties benefit from a hybrid approach: portfolio loan on the stabilized core, single property loans on new acquisitions. We’ll map it out on a 15-minute call.

Built for Investors Treating Rentals Like a Business.

This program isn’t built for someone buying their first rental. It’s built for operators who already understand the asset class and are running into the structural limits of conventional lending.

The Capped Investor

You scaled the right way — bought rentals one at a time, used conventional financing, built equity. Now you've got 7 or 8 properties and your lender just told you no on #11. You need a non-QM lender who doesn't count against the Fannie cap.

The Active Portfolio Builder

You've already moved past conventional lending. You're acquiring 5–15 properties per year, you operate through an LLC, and you need a DSCR lender who can keep up with the pace of your acquisitions — and structure portfolio loans when consolidation makes sense.

The Institutional Investor

You're running a real rental business. Multiple LLCs, multiple markets, a property manager (or several), and a balance sheet that needs to be financed strategically — not deal-by-deal. You want a capital partner who treats you like the institutional operator you are.

What You Get With Us

LLC Friendly

Close in your business entity name. Standard asset protection structure for serious rental investors — no personal name on title, no personal exposure beyond the guaranty.

Short-Term Rentals Allowed

Airbnb, Vrbo, and other short-term rental income accepted. We underwrite STR cash flow using AirDNA market data — your STR portfolio counts toward DSCR.

Nationwide Lending

Active in 45+ states. Build a portfolio that spans markets without juggling 5 different regional lenders.

21-Day Close

Streamlined documentation, in-house processing, and a single relationship manager from application to close. No 60-day waiting period like conventional lenders.

unnamed 3 3 DSCR Rental

The Mechanism

From Application to Close in 21 Days.

We stripped the friction from construction lending to match your build speed.

01

Pre-Qualify (24–48 hours)

Soft credit pull, basic property info (or portfolio summary), entity details. Rate and LTV quote within 48 hours.

Ā 

02

Application & Documents

Property-level: address, rent roll, leases, insurance, entity docs.

Not required: tax returns, W-2s, pay stubs, or personal income verification.

Ā 

03

Appraisal & DSCR Validation (1–2 weeks)

We order the appraisal and validate DSCR using actual lease data (or 90% of market rent for vacant units). Portfolio loans run a single appraisal cycle across all properties.

Ā 

04

Underwriting & Close (21 days total)

Final underwriting, clear to close, fund. Single property: one closing per loan. Portfolio: one closing for the entire bundle.

Ā 

05

Ongoing Relationship

Once your sponsor profile is established, subsequent loans move faster — same FICO check, same DSCR math, same entity. The relationship operates more like a credit facility than a one-off application process.

$1B+ Funded. Investors Don't Switch Lenders Twice.

Clarity & Confidence

Common Questions From Builders.

DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio. It’s a non-QM

(non-qualifying mortgage) rental loan that qualifies based on the property’s rental income vs. its monthly debt obligation — not your personal income, DTI, or tax returns. If the property covers its own debt service at 1.05x or better, the loan qualifies.

For single property: Gross Rent Ć· PITIA (Principal + Interest + Taxes + Insurance + Association dues). For portfolio loans: Net Cash Flow Ć· Debt Service. Minimum threshold is 1.05x — meaning rent covers debt service with a 5% cushion.

Correct. No tax returns, no W-2s, no 1099s, no pay stubs, no DTI calculation. The loan is underwritten against the property’s cash flow and the entity holding title — not against your personal income picture. This is why DSCR is the standard for serious rental investors.

Conventional rental loans (Fannie/Freddie) are qualified mortgages that count against your personal 10-property limit, require full income verification, and underwrite based on your personal DTI. DSCR loans are non-QM — no Fannie cap, no income verification, underwritten on the property. Different product, different rules.

Yes. There’s no cap on the number of DSCR loans you can have. We’ve worked with investors at every scale from a single duplex to portfolios over 100 doors across multiple states.

Single property: one loan per property, one closing, individually underwritten. Portfolio: 5+ properties bundled into one blanket loan, one closing, cross-collateralized. Portfolio loans reduce closing costs and admin overhead as the count grows.

Yes. Up to 75% LTV on cash-out refinances (both single property and portfolio). This is one of the most common reasons investors come to us — pulling equity out of stabilized rentals to fund new acquisitions without touching personal cash reserves.

Yes. We underwrite STR income using AirDNA market data and historical performance. Both single property and portfolio loans can include STR units, provided the property is non-owner-occupied and the local market supports the income projections.

Ā 

We can close on vacant properties — common for new acquisitions before tenants move in. For DSCR calculation on vacant units, we use 90% of market rent based on appraiser-validated comps. Portfolio loans require 90% occupancy across the bundle by unit count.

660 for single property DSCR. 680 for portfolio DSCR. Soft credit pull during pre-qualification — no impact on your score.

Yes — and we require it. All DSCR loans close in a business entity (LLC, LP, S-Corp, etc.). It’s standard structure for investor-class lending and separates the asset from personal liability.

Yes, up to 65% LTV. Foreign national borrowers must meet additional documentation requirements — we’ll outline these on the call.

45+ states. We currently can’t lend in North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, and Vermont. Everywhere else, we’re active.

21 days from a complete application and ordered appraisal. Repeat borrowers with established entity profiles can close faster.

Submit it anyway. DSCR has flexibility most conventional programs don’t — we may be able to structure around a vacant unit, a borderline DSCR, or an unusual property type. If it’s genuinely outside the box, we’ll tell you and may refer you to another lender we trust.
