Investment Property Financing

A financing strategy
for your next project.

Buying a rental, renovating to sell, or building from the ground up? I’ll help you explore financing around the property, the work ahead, and how you plan to hold or sell it.

What’s the plan
for the property?

Buy & hold rentals

A single rental, a short-term rental, or the next addition to your portfolio.

We can explore Conventional investment-property loans and DSCR options that evaluate the property’s rental income. I’ll help you compare documentation, cash required, payment structure, and any prepayment terms.

What we’ll review

Eligible rent and property expenses, occupancy, loan structure, and reserves.

Fix & flip

Buy, improve, and sell—or consider holding after the work is complete.

Short-term acquisition and rehab financing can fund eligible purchase and renovation costs. We’ll plan around the scope of work, draw process, expected finished value, and time needed to sell or qualify for a rental loan.

What we’ll review

Purchase price, rehab budget, your experience, cash available, and the exit.

Discuss a rehab project →

Build to rent

Create a property you plan to hold for rental income.

Ground-up financing covers the construction phase. I’ll help you assess the route into long-term rental financing, including the completed value, eligible rents, and requirements that must be met before any refinance or conversion.

What we’ll review

Lot readiness, plans, permits, contractor, budget, and the long-term loan.

Discuss build-to-rent →

Build to sell

Finance a new home or eligible residential project intended for sale.

Investor construction financing can support eligible vertical builds. We’ll review the land, approvals, builder, budget, completion timeline, and sales plan so the loan structure fits the project from closing through payoff.

What we’ll review

Land position, build costs, projected value, carrying costs, and sale timing.

The financing conversation

Bring me the project.
We’ll work through the structure.

The property

Its purchase price, condition, unit count, eligible use, and current or projected value.

The project budget

Work to be completed, the draw schedule, costs paid upfront, and room for unexpected expenses.

Your experience & cash

Completed projects, credit, liquidity, reserves, and the funds you can commit.

The exit & timeline

How the loan will be repaid, what a refinance would require, and the effect of a delay.

Plan through the payoff

The exit belongs in the plan.

I

Acquire

We review the purchase or land position and the funds needed to close.

II

Execute

For a rehab or build, we account for approved draws, inspections, holding costs, and the project schedule.

III

Hold or sell

We plan for the sale, refinance, or eligible conversion before loan maturity, including the terms and costs of any available extension.

Commercial & Business Financing

Working on something bigger?

An apartment building, a mixed-use property, or a larger development may need a different lending approach. I can help you explore financing around the property’s operations, project scope, and business plan.

Investor FAQ

Let’s talk
through the details.

Tell me about the property, your timeline, and the outcome you’re working toward.

Discuss your project →
01Can you help with my first investment property?

Yes. First-time investors may have financing options, especially for a completed rental property. Rehab and ground-up construction lenders can have additional experience requirements. I’ll review your background and the project before matching it to a lending approach.

02What is a DSCR loan?

DSCR stands for debt service coverage ratio. These rental-property loans generally use eligible rent relative to the property’s housing payment instead of relying on your personal employment income. Credit, value, liquidity, property eligibility, and loan terms still matter. This is investment financing, not a loan for a home you plan to occupy.

03How much cash do I need to bring?

There is no single down payment across these project types. Your contribution can include purchase equity, work the lender does not finance, closing costs, and required reserves. Draw reimbursement may also require you to pay some costs before receiving funds. I’ll help you identify the cash needed at closing and during the project.

04Can an LLC borrow?

Many business-purpose investor programs allow an LLC or another eligible entity, subject to underwriting. Entity documents and personal guarantees may still be required. I’ll help coordinate the borrower and title structure with the lender from the start; entity eligibility differs from standard agency financing.

05How do rehab or construction draws work?

Project funds are commonly released in approved stages rather than all at closing. A lender may require completed work, supporting records, and inspections before reimbursement. I’ll review the draw process, fees, and cash timing with you so the budget accounts for the period between paying a contractor and receiving a draw.

06Can I refinance a completed build into a rental loan?

That can be an available exit, but it is not automatic. A new rental loan may depend on completion, value, eligible rent, credit, reserves, and any seasoning requirements. Some programs offer a coordinated transition or conversion. We’ll review the proposed exit before committing to the construction loan.

07Does ground-up construction financing cover raw land too?

Not always. Some investor programs focus on land that is entitled, permitted, or ready for vertical construction. Raw land, rezoning, utilities, roads, and major site work can require a different financing structure. I’ll review the land’s current stage and the work needed to reach a buildable project.

08Can you help with short-term rentals?

Some rental programs accept eligible short-term rental properties and rental-income analyses. The lender’s rules, local restrictions, association rules, and operating costs all matter. Projected bookings are not guaranteed income. I’ll help assess both the financing requirements and the assumptions behind the rental plan.

09When does a project need commercial financing?

Five or more units, mixed-use buildings, larger developments, and other complex properties may call for a commercial approach. Unit count is one factor; property use, project size, condition, cash flow, and the business plan also matter. I’ll help determine which lending channel fits the project.
