Investor loans are non-QM products. Lenders don't rely on your W-2 or tax returns to qualify you.
DSCR loans — where the property's rent covers the mortgage — are the most common path here. Most lenders want a DSCR of 1.0 or higher. Credit minimums typically start around 620-660.
Most big banks don't touch non-QM investor loans. Wholesale lenders and private money sources are where these deals get done.
At SRK CAPITAL, we work with 200+ wholesale lenders. That means we can shop DSCR, bridge, and hard money products across real options — not just one bank's menu.
Yucaipa properties often appraise conservatively. Get your rent comparables ready before submitting — lenders will scrutinize DSCR math on lower-priced assets.
Fix-and-flip buyers should look at bridge or hard money first. DSCR doesn't apply until the property is stabilized and renting.
Conventional investment loans cap out at 10 financed properties and require full income docs. DSCR loans have no such cap for most lenders.
Hard money closes faster — sometimes in days. DSCR offers better long-term rates. Your exit strategy determines which product makes sense.
San Bernardino County has a large renter base. Yucaipa's quieter feel attracts long-term tenants — good news for stabilized rental holds.
The area's proximity to the 10 freeway and growing logistics employment supports rent fundamentals. That matters when a lender underwrites your DSCR.
Yes. Most DSCR lenders allow LLC vesting. It's one reason investors prefer this product over conventional financing.
Lenders divide the monthly rent by the total mortgage payment. A result of 1.0 or higher generally meets the threshold.
Most lenders require 20-25% down on DSCR loans. Hard money lenders may go higher depending on the deal.
Not usually. But using one can strengthen your file by showing professional rent documentation and lease history.
No. DSCR requires a stabilized, rent-producing property. For rehab projects, bridge or hard money is the right tool.
DSCR loans typically close in 21-30 days. Hard money can close in under 2 weeks on clean deals.
