Income-focused underwriting

  • Lenders analyze the potential revenue of your rental, not your salary.
  • DSCR ratios determine your eligibility instead of personal DTI.

Portfolio growth

  • Finance individual vacation homes or group units under one note.
  • Avoid the restrictive mortgage caps found at traditional banks.

Speed and reliability

  • Bypass the long bureaucracy of standard residential mortgage lenders.
  • Our network prioritizes closing speed for time-sensitive acquisitions.
Why this exists

Why the usual lenders say no.

Your revenue is real. The problem is the form. Here is why traditional underwriting turns away healthy operators in this space, and what we do differently.

01

Banks want W-2 income

Traditional lenders reject self-employed hosts who do not show high personal income on tax returns.

Our partner lenders look at asset performance and DSCR rather than personal income tax returns.
02

Too many properties

Big banks often cap the number of residential mortgages you can hold at once.

Use commercial-style loans that treat your rental business as a company, bypassing residential limits.
03

New host status

Conventional lenders often require two years of history with a specific property type.

We match you with lenders who underwrite based on market data for the area rather than your personal history.

Questions we get asked

Frequently asked.

Yes, our partner lenders utilize DSCR underwriting, which assesses the property's potential revenue against the mortgage payment. Most lenders look for a DSCR of 1.0 or higher, meaning the rental income covers the debt obligation entirely.
