Property Type

DSCR Loans for Single-Family Rentals

The classic investment property. Finance long-term rental homes using market rent or existing lease income. No tax returns required.

Long-Term Rentals

The Foundation of Rental Property Investing

Single-family rentals (SFRs) are the most common investment property type — and for good reason. They're easy to manage, attract stable long-term tenants, and appreciate well in desirable neighborhoods.

With DSCR loans, you can finance SFRs using the property's rental income rather than your personal tax returns. This makes it easier to scale your portfolio, especially if you're self-employed or have complex income that doesn't show well on paper.

New Jersey offers strong SFR markets in suburban communities with good schools, as well as commuter-friendly towns near NYC and Philadelphia transit lines.

Families typically stay 2-3+ years, reducing turnover

Strong Appreciation

SFRs in good neighborhoods appreciate well over time

Easy to Manage

One tenant, one property — simpler than multi-family

Exit Flexibility

Sell to investors OR owner-occupants for maximum value

Income Documentation

How We Calculate SFR Income

Market Rent (Appraisal)

For purchases or vacant properties, the appraiser provides a market rent estimate based on comparable rentals. This becomes your qualifying income.

Existing Lease

If the property has a tenant in place, we can use the actual lease rent. This is often preferred when the lease rate exceeds market rent estimates.

Investment Strategies

SFR Strategies That Work with DSCR

Turnkey Rentals

Buy tenant-ready properties that cash flow from day one. Use existing lease income to qualify. Minimal work, immediate returns.

BRRRR Strategy

Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat. Use hard money for acquisition/rehab, then refinance into a DSCR loan once stabilized. Pull out equity and repeat.

Buy & Hold

Long-term wealth building. Collect rent, pay down the mortgage, and benefit from appreciation. DSCR makes scaling easier without income limits.
