Residential Investment (1–4 Unit) Loans

DSCR and non-QM financing for single-family rentals, duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes. Qualify on the property's cash flow — not your personal DTI. Portfolio loans for investors with 5+ doors.

Best for

  • Single-family rental (SFR) investors
  • Duplex, triplex, and fourplex owners
  • Short-term rental (Airbnb / VRBO) operators
  • Investors building or refinancing a rental portfolio

What you'll need to qualify

  • 1–4 unit residential investment property (owner-occupied does not qualify)
  • DSCR of 1.0×+ (some programs go to 0.75× with lower LTV)
  • Credit score 640+ typical (700+ for best pricing)
  • 20–30% down payment (or equivalent equity on refinance)

How it works

  1. 1

    Submit the property address, purchase price / current value, and rent roll (or short-term rental income).

  2. 2

    We match to DSCR / non-QM lenders — approval is based on the property's DSCR (rent ÷ debt service), not personal income.

  3. 3

    Close in 15–30 days. Portfolio loans available for investors financing multiple properties.
