Question 1

Can I use a DSCR loan on a Hesperia fix-and-flip?

Accepted Answer

No. DSCR loans require the property to be rentable at close. They're designed for stabilized rentals, not active renovation projects.

Question 2

What credit score do I need for each loan?

Accepted Answer

DSCR lenders typically want 620–680 minimum. Hard money lenders often have no minimum — the asset does the work.

Question 3

Which loan closes faster?

Accepted Answer

Hard money wins. Closings in 5–10 days are common. DSCR loans typically take 2–4 weeks due to appraisal and underwriting.

Question 4

Can I refinance from hard money into a DSCR loan?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it's a common investor playbook. Flip or stabilize with hard money, then refi into a DSCR once the property has rental income.

Question 5

Are both loans available in Hesperia, San Bernardino County?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SRK CAPITAL works with 200+ wholesale lenders. Both loan types are available for Hesperia investment properties.

Question 6

Which loan has lower fees overall?

Accepted Answer

DSCR loans carry lower origination fees and no points in most cases. Hard money often includes 2–4 points upfront plus higher rates.
