2026 Kickoff: New Year, Same Fast Closings — Our Programs & Capital Network
Happy New Year! We’re starting 2026 with the same mission: fund good projects quickly with clear terms and straight talk. Below is a simple guide to what we’re offering now—and the capital partners we bring in when a deal needs something outside the box.
Core Programs:
🏘️ DSCR (1–8 Units) — Rates from 5.75%
Asset-based: underwritten to property income (rents vs PITIA), not tax returns.
Min DSCR: 1.00 (1.15+ recommended for best pricing & cushion).
Min FICO: 660 (680+ ideal).
Max LTV: 80% SFR & 2–9 units • 65% Foreign National.
Terms: 30-yr fixed, 40-yr fixed, 5/7 ARM, Interest-Only up to 10 yrs.
Use cases: purchases, rate/term refis, cash-out for capex/reserves/new acquisitions.

Loan size: $150K–$1.5M (to $2M by exception).
Structure: schedule-aligned reserves; draws tied to vendor quotes and critical path.
Beyond the Box: Our Capital Network
Some projects need a different tool. We maintain relationships across credit verticals to place complex or specialized deals:
SBA (7(a) / 504): for owner-user real estate + business acquisition/working capital components.
CMBS: stabilized income assets that benefit from non-recourse, low coupons, and longer terms.
Preferred Equity / Mezzanine: to push effective leverage on strong sponsors and assets when senior stops short.
Specialty Bridge / Lease-Up: value-add or transitional assets on the way to agency/perm or DSCR take-outs.
Agency/Perm Take-Outs (via partners): once stabilized, we’ll line up a clean exit.
We quarterback structure, timelines, and diligence so you don’t have to “shop” a file in circles.
Which path fits? (quick cheatsheet)
Keep it moving / rentals: DSCR (no tax returns).
Short-term value creation: Fix & Flip at 7.99%, no prepay.
Build to plan: Ground-Up at 7.99% with milestone draws.
Owner-user or business-heavy components: SBA.
Stabilized, long-term, non-recourse target: CMBS.
Need more leverage on a strong deal: Pref-eq/mezz (with senior).
What to send for a same-day scenario
DSCR: address, current/market rent(s), taxes/insurance/HOA, target LTV, purchase price/As-Is-Value, FICO.
Rehab/Construction: address, purchase/AS-IS, scope & budget, timeline, comps/ARV (or pro forma), experience snapshot, FICO.
We’ll return side-by-side options (standard vs. buydown; sell vs. DSCR refi) plus a draw/reserve map if it’s a project.
Here’s to a strong 2026. If you want to review a live deal or schedule a short presentation for your office, reply, call or text: 718-635-2377.
