Find a creative solutionInvestor & commercial loan questions
Your first investment starts with a few good questions.
Explore a few common questions about getting started, qualifying, and finding another financing path.
Explore all loan questions01Can I buy my first investment property with a loan?+
Potentially, yes. Some programs consider first-time investors. The property, down payment, credit, reserves, and your plan all matter; experience requirements vary by lender.
02Can I get a DSCR loan without a job?+
Qualifying DSCR programs generally evaluate the investment property's rental income rather than traditional employment income. Credit, equity, reserves, and property eligibility still matter.
03How much down payment do I need for an investment property?+
There is no single minimum for every deal. Your down payment depends on the property, loan program, credit, rental income, and experience. Share the purchase price and available funds so we can compare eligible options.
04What if a bank has already turned me down?+
A bank's decision does not necessarily rule out every financing option. We review why the loan was declined and whether a different commercial, DSCR, or bridge program may fit. Approval is subject to lender underwriting.

DSCR investor financing
No traditional job? You heard right.
Qualifying DSCR programs use the investment property's rental income instead of W-2s, tax returns, or a traditional personal debt-to-income calculation. Whether it's your first rental or your next portfolio acquisition, the deal starts with the property.
Learn how DSCR worksHIGH-OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM

- Review completed work and cost to finish
- Address qualifying contractor balances and overruns
- Build a realistic draw and completion plan
- Prepare for refinance, sale, or stabilization
