Yes. Because we are a commercial lender, you will need a Special Purpose Entity (typically a Limited Liability Corporation, or LLC) for your loan. We will provide guidance if you do not have one since it is a very easy process.
Our Rental Loans are for stabilized rental properties. Typically, this means that nearly all homes are leased or in the process of being leased when the loan closes. Several of our borrowers take advantage of our Bridge Loans to purchase aggregate properties until they are mostly leased and can be financed with a Rental Loan. We will make exceptions on purchases only on our Rental Loan and Multifamily Term Loan program.
In general, on our Bridge Loans we do not have a minimum credit score threshold. Instead, we look at a borrower’s overall credit profile, track record, liquidity and economics of the deal itself. Our Multifamily Term Loan Program requires specific credit scores. Please refer to our Product Tear sheets in our online document library.

The debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) is the relationship of a property’s annual net operating income (NOI) to its annual mortgage debt service (principal and interest payments). For Rental Loans, we use DSCR to determine how large of a loan can be supported by the cash flow generated from a borrower’s portfolio. Please refer to our DSCR calculator in our Document Library to determine if your loan meets our DSCR requirement.
