Most adults with steady income and good credit can qualify.

What’s the difference between first and second lien?

How long does approval take?

Typically, approval takes two to four weeks.

Can I refinance later?

What documents do I need to apply?

What types of loans do you offer?

I work with residential and commercial financing. That includes conventional, FHA, VA, jumbo, HELOCs, refinances, investment properties, and commercial loans for business owners and investors.

What kinds of commercial loans do you help with?

I help with multifamily (5+ units), mixed-use, retail, office, industrial, and certain special-use properties. I also work with DSCR-style and investor-focused commercial programs.

What’s the difference between residential and commercial loans?

Residential loans are based heavily on personal income and credit. Commercial loans focus more on the property’s cash flow, debt service coverage, and overall deal strength.

Do commercial loans require higher down payments?

Yes, typically. Commercial down payments usually range from 20% to 30%, depending on the property type, borrower strength, and loan program.

How are commercial loan terms different from residential loans?

Commercial loans often have shorter terms, adjustable rates, balloon payments, or fixed periods followed by adjustments. They’re structured more around business risk and cash flow than personal housing needs.

What credit score do I need for a commercial loan?

Most programs look for solid credit, but it’s not just about the score. Experience, liquidity, net worth, and the property’s income all play major roles.

Do commercial loans require tax returns?

Sometimes. Many commercial and DSCR-style loans rely more on property income than personal tax returns, but documentation requirements vary by lender and deal.

Can you help first-time commercial investors?

Yes. Experience helps, but it’s not always required. We’ll structure the deal based on your background, the property, and realistic expectations.

What is DSCR and why does it matter?

DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio. It measures whether the property’s income can comfortably cover the loan payment. Many commercial and investor loans are approved primarily on this metric.

Can I use rental income to qualify for a commercial or investment loan?

Yes. Rental income is often the key factor in qualifying, especially for multifamily and investor-focused loans.

Do you help with commercial refinances and cash-out loans?

Yes. I help business owners and investors refinance, lower payments, restructure debt, or pull cash out to reinvest or stabilize operations.

Are commercial rates higher than residential rates?

Usually, yes. Commercial loans carry more risk and flexibility, which is reflected in the pricing. The tradeoff is strategy, leverage, and scalability.

How long does a commercial loan take to close?

Commercial deals typically take longer than residential—often 30 to 60 days—depending on appraisals, environmental reports, and deal complexity.

Will you help me analyze whether a commercial deal actually makes sense?

Yes. I’ll walk through cash flow, DSCR, loan terms, and long-term impact. If a deal doesn’t pencil, I’ll tell you—no sugarcoating.

Do you only work locally?

No. I work with clients and investors in multiple states, depending on the loan program and property type.
