  • Every bank and other private lender denied me, and then I found Chris. He worked with my unique situation and got me the loans I was looking for. Highly recommend. Incredibly fast DSCR approval and funding as fast as possible. Friendly service too.

    I spent months working with another company only to be denied at the last minute due to a technicality. Best Finance had me approved shortly after I completed their forms.

    This was the easiest and fastest cash out refi I've ever done. So much less paperwork, with a great rate, couldn't have asked for better.

  • Fastest DSCR closer in America*

    5-business-day target close from a complete file vs. the 18–25 day industry average. Engineering-led origination — API doc-parsing, automated underwriting, integrated capital partners. Most brokers don’t have these tools.

  • Appraisal waived under $400K

    BPO (Broker Price Opinion) replaces the multi-week appraiser wait on cash-out loans under $400K. Saves 1–2 weeks vs. full field appraisal. Loans over $400K still require a full field appraisal.

  • Property qualifies, not you

    No tax returns. No W-2s. No paystubs. No DTI math. The property’s rental income (DSCR ≥ 1.0) is the qualifier. Close in your LLC. Business-purpose only.

*“Fastest DSCR closer in America” reflects Best Finance’s average DSCR cash-out close time from a complete file compared to the 18–25 day industry average reported by the American Association of Private Lenders (AAPL) in 2024–2025 surveys. Individual results vary by file completeness, property type, and lender capacity. The 5-day target is not a guarantee.

Your rental income just got more powerful

Fast funding

Funded in days, not weeks. AI-driven underwriting and no human underwriting bottleneck — once the file is clean it moves.

No W-2s, no tax returns

Qualify on rental income alone. Property cash-flow does the talking. No personal-income docs, no DTI math.

Smarter tech, faster approvals

AI scans leases, asset statements, LLC docs, and property data the moment you upload them — cutting paper-shuffling out of the timeline.

Best Finance DSCR vs. traditional investment property loans

Not all rental-property loans are created equal. Here's how this stacks up against a conventional investment-property mortgage.

What makes this DSCR program different

Things most DSCR lenders don't offer — and we do.

No appraisal under $400K

Properties under $400,000 use a BPO instead of a full field appraisal. That removes 1–2 weeks and $400–$700 from every sub-$400K deal.

No title insurance — instant lien search

Eliminates the standard $1–3K title-insurance line and the multi-day title workup. The lien check is API-instant.

Soft pull pre-qual

Find out what you qualify for in seconds without dinging your credit. Hard pull only happens once you submit the full application.

First-time investor friendly

We accept first-time investment-property buyers — most DSCR lenders won't. Adjusted terms, but real approvals: max $500K, DSCR ≥ 1.1.

Everything you need to know about DSCR loans

What is a debt service coverage ratio (DSCR)?

Your DSCR = Net Operating Income (NOI) ÷ Total Debt Service. A DSCR above 1.0 means your rental income covers your loan payments — making you a solid candidate for financing.

What is a DSCR Loan?

A DSCR loan is designed for real estate investors, allowing you to qualify based on the property's rental income rather than your personal income. It's a practical option for investors who prefer not to provide traditional income documentation.

Use cases of DSCR loans

DSCR loans are great for refinancing existing rentals, cash-out refinancing to free up equity, and expanding real estate portfolios.

Who should consider a DSCR loan?

Real estate investors looking to expand their rental portfolio. Self-employed individuals who want easy qualification without tax-return analysis. Corporations or LLCs needing investment-property financing.

How does a DSCR loan work?

Instead of looking at your personal income, lenders check your rental income. If the property's DSCR meets requirements, you qualify — no W-2s, no tax returns needed.

What property types can you use a DSCR loan for?

Single-family residences, condos, PUDs, townhomes, and 2–4 unit investment properties. Florida condos cap at 70% LTV; unoccupied 2-4 unit properties take a 5-point LTV reduction.

What loan amounts does Figure offer?

Loan amounts from $75,000 to $1,000,000. First-time investment-property buyers cap at $500,000 (max cash-out $250,000).

How much can I borrow?

Max 80% LTV for rate-and-term refinances and up to 75% LTV for cash-out refinances. Your specific cap depends on home value, lien position, verified rental income, and equity.
