Investor financing path

DSCR financing for qualifying residential investment property.

DSCR programs generally consider qualifying property rental income in relation to the proposed housing obligation. Property location, reserves, documentation, transaction structure, licensing, program requirements, and underwriting remain part of the review.

Alternative financing path

Private money for eligible property transactions.

Private money may provide another path when property, timing, or transaction structure does not fit a conventional residential or DSCR program. The review considers the collateral, location, requested amount, available funds, intended use, transaction terms, and planned repayment or exit strategy.

Common questions

Understand the scope before beginning.

Is preparation the same as approval?

No. Preparation helps organize information and identify the appropriate next step. Approval and final terms depend on a completed application, qualification, property review, program requirements, and underwriting.

Does this page include commercial financing?

No. The services described here concern Texas residential financing and DSCR financing for qualifying residential investment properties. Commercial financing is not offered.

What property may be considered for a DSCR loan?

DSCR programs may be available for qualifying one- to four-unit residential investment properties. Availability depends on the property location, transaction, program requirements, licensing, and underwriting.

Can a request begin before a property is selected?

Yes. A readiness or purchase-financing discussion may begin before a property is selected so the borrower can understand preparation, documentation, and the applicable process.
