Is fix & flip the same as RTL?+
Yes. Residential transition loans (RTL) and fix-and-flip loans refer to short-term financing for acquiring and improving an investment property. The planned exit is a sale or refinance. They are separate from long-term DSCR rental loans.
What does DSCR mean?+
DSCR stands for debt service coverage ratio. It compares a property’s rental income with its debt payments. It is a key part of evaluating rental financing; property, borrower, and other underwriting requirements also apply.
What do you need to prepare a quote?+
The property state and ZIP code, requested loan amount, and your investment plan. For a renovation, include the purchase price, renovation budget, and after-repair value if known. For a rental, include estimated property value and monthly rent.
Do I need a property under contract?+
You can start a conversation while you are evaluating a property. Include what you know and explain what is still in progress. Proposed terms and any approval depend on the details and underwriting review.
Does requesting a quote commit me to a loan?+
No. A quote request starts a conversation. It is not an application, approval, or commitment to lend. Rates, leverage, fees, and timing depend on the transaction and any applicable requirements.
