FAQ
Do I need tenants in place?

No, as long as the property is rent ready

What is a DSCR loan?

It’s a loan based primarily on the property’s income rather than personal income.

How much cash-out can I get?

Up to 75% It depends on value, rental income, and leverage, but many deals allow meaningful equity extraction.

Can I refinance right after construction is complete?

Yes, depending on the lender and whether the property is stabilized or close to it.

What if I originally planned to sell?

That’s common. Many builders pivot to holding when market conditions change.
