Types of Investment Property Loans We Offer

🏢 Conventional Investment Property Mortgage

  • Great for 1–4 unit rentals
  • 15–30 year fixed-rate options
  • Requires full documentation, credit score of 620+, and 15–20% down
  • Best for investors with strong personal income and tax returns

📈 DSCR Loan (Debt Service Coverage Ratio)

  • Qualify based on rental income, not personal income
  • Ideal for full-time real estate investors
  • No tax returns or employment verification required
  • Perfect for both short-term rental financing (Airbnb/VRBO) and long-term rental properties

💼 No Income Verification Investor Loans

  • Close quickly with minimal documentation
  • Based on property cash flow, assets, or bank statements
  • Flexible terms for unique income scenarios

What Is a DSCR Loan?

A DSCR loan evaluates the property’s ability to generate enough rental income to cover the mortgage payment. If your debt service coverage ratio is 1.0 or higher, you may qualify—regardless of your job, W-2, or tax returns.

Example:

  • Rent: $2,500/month
  • PITIA: $2,200/month
  • DSCR: 1.14 → eligible

This makes DSCR loans ideal for investors who own multiple properties or use legal tax write-offs that reduce reported income.

Investment Property Loan FAQs

What types of loans are available for investment properties?

We offer a variety of financing options for investment properties, including conventional loans, DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans, jumbo investment loans, and bank statement loans for self-employed investors. Whether you’re buying your first rental or expanding your portfolio, we’ll help you choose the right solution.

How much down payment do I need for an investment property?

Investment properties typically require a minimum of 15% to 25% down, depending on the loan type and number of units. Your credit score, property type, and income strategy will help determine your exact requirements.

Can I use rental income to qualify for the loan?

Yes! Many programs allow you to use anticipated or existing rental income to help qualify for the mortgage. In fact, DSCR loans are specifically designed to approve borrowers based on the property’s cash flow rather than personal income.

Are interest rates higher for investment property loans?

Generally, yes—interest rates for investment properties are slightly higher than for primary residences due to increased risk. However, strong borrowers may still qualify for competitive rates. We’ll help you find the most cost-effective path based on your goals and property type.
