What real estate financing covers

Real estate investment loans can help you buy and renovate a fix and flip, purchase or refinance a rental property, or fund ground-up construction. Each deal type comes with its own set of lender expectations and documents.

These are business-purpose loans for investment properties, not personal home mortgages. If your business plans to buy the building it runs from, that is a different path, and we can help you explore it too.

Paths to explore

Depending on your goals and profile, options can include fix and flip loans, DSCR loans for rentals, ground-up construction loans and bridge financing. Many are built for speed. If your business will occupy the building, SBA 504 and 7(a) loans may also fit.

If you own a home and are thinking of using its equity for business purposes, see our business-use HELOC page to understand the tradeoffs.

What lenders typically review

Investment property lenders usually look at the deal itself, including the purchase price, rehab or build budget and after-repair value, along with your experience, financials, time in business, credit profile and the amount you plan to put down. For rentals, rent rolls and leases matter.

Preparation goes a long way. A clear description of the property, a purchase contract or current mortgage statement, and two to three years of financials will make the first conversation more productive. Our A to Z Funding Prep Checklist helps you gather the basics.

Timelines and expectations

Investment property loans are built to move fast. With a clean deal, approvals are possible in as little as 24 to 48 hours, and closings can be quick enough to compete with cash buyers. Appraisals and title work still take some time. We will give you honest expectations based on your situation, and if you need capital sooner for a related need, working capital or a line of credit may help bridge the gap.

How we help

We help you understand the paths that may fit, prepare the right documents and compare options from our lending partners. Every decision is made by the lender, and you are never obligated to move forward. When it feels right, start your path or call us to talk it through.
