Choose financing for your next step

Which property financing should I consider?
DSCR financing focuses on rental income from investment property. Commercial real estate financing considers the property, income and proposed transaction. Bridge, renovation and construction financing address shorter-term projects with a defined repayment or refinance plan. These are business-purpose options, not owner-occupied home loans.
What is the difference between purchase and cash-out refinancing?
Purchase financing helps acquire an eligible property. Cash-out refinancing replaces an existing loan and may release equity after debt and transaction costs. Available cash depends on property value, current balances, income and the approved leverage—not just the equity estimate.
What happens after I request financing?
An advisor reviews your requested amount, purpose and supporting information, then explains program fit and the next documents needed. A quote or calculator result is not an approval or commitment to lend; final terms require underwriting.

Information to prepare

  • Property address and purpose

    Identify a purchase, refinance, renovation or construction request and the intended property use.

  • Income or project information

    Prepare leases, a rent roll or available operating information to explain property cash flow.

  • Transaction and ownership details

    Include the purchase contract or current mortgage information and entity documents where applicable. The final checklist is specific to your file.

Use the secure application when documents are requested. Do not include Social Security numbers or financial documents in a general contact message.

Knowledge & insights

Traditional banks often restrict otherwise legal industries because of internal risk policies. Specialty underwriting reviews documented income, reserves, and business stability instead of relying on an industry label alone.

A 12-month reserve requirement helps protect both the borrower and lender when banking access or revenue patterns are less predictable.

Eligibility is reviewed case by case and depends on legal operation, location, income history, and current program guidelines.

Did you know?

  • Bank-statement underwriting was built for self-employed borrowers whose tax returns may not reflect current cash flow.
  • Specialty underwriting can consider stable, documentable income that a traditional lender's industry policy may automatically decline.
