The specialty

DSCR loans are my wheelhouse

A DSCR loan qualifies the property, not you — the rent covers the payment, so no pay stubs, W-2s, or tax returns. It's the single most powerful tool for building a rental portfolio, and I wrote the book on it.

  • Rates comparable to conventional — not the premium people expect
  • No cap on the number of financed properties
  • Works with an LLC, self-employed income, and short-term rentals
Read the full DSCR breakdown

The DSCR formula

Monthly Rent ÷ Payment (PITIA)
1.0break-even — rent exactly covers the payment
1.20+strong coverage — unlocks better pricing
< 1.0rent falls short — reserves or more down may be needed
Run your numbers

Why DSCR right now?

~2×DSCR lending roughly doubled heading into 2026
No capon financed properties (vs. Fannie's limit of 10)
20% ↓down even on 2–4 unit multifamily

Flipping a house?
