YOUR FUNDING PARTNER
Rental Property Funding Made Simple
Buying your first rental is one of the biggest steps toward freedom. Instead of trading hours for a paycheck, you start owning assets that pay you every month. My job is to help you understand the numbers, get the right DSCR or long term loan, and make sure your first one to five rentals set you up for success.
I work with new and growing investors who want to build steady income and grow their net worth without feeling overwhelmed or confused by lender rules.
Is a Rental Right for You
If you want predictable income, long term wealth, and the option to step away from a rigid job schedule someday, rentals are the best place to start. You do not need to be a full time investor. You need a solid plan, a good property, and a lender who can guide you through your first few deals.
How Much Cash You Need
- Most new rental investors start with $50,000 to $100,000 depending on:
- Down payment
- Closing costs
- Inspection and appraisal
- Initial repairs
- Reserves
You don’t need perfect credit or massive savings. You need a property that cash flows and a funding structure that fits your goals.
How Rental Loans Work
Simple explanations
Most investors use DSCR loans, which qualify the property based on rent, not your personal income. That means you don’t need W2 income to get approved as long as the property pays for itself.
A strong DSCR loan usually looks like:
- A monthly rent that covers your payment and expenses
- A simple, no income documentation process
- A long term 30 year fixed loan
- A fast closing timeline typically 30 days
- A minimum loan amount around $75,000
I help you understand exactly what you qualify for and how to choose the best loan for your strategy.
What I Help You Do
- Run DSCR(Debt Service Coverage Ratio) so you know if the property pays for itself
- Analyze your rent, taxes, insurance, and payment
- Choose between long term and short term rentals or other strategies
- Understand how lenders look at your deal
- Match with the best DSCR loan for your property
- Plan for cash flow and long term equity

FAQs
Everything You Want To Know Before Buying Your First One To Five Properties
What credit score do I need to get started
Most new investors start with a score between 640 and 700. You do not need perfect credit. A stronger score helps you get better rates and lower down payments, but you can still get funded with average credit if the deal makes sense.
How much cash do I need for my first fix and flip
Most first time flippers start with $50,000 to $80,000. Your cash covers the down payment, early rehab before draws, closing costs, holding cost, and your safety buffer. You do not need hundreds of thousands. You need a good deal and a smart plan.
How much cash do I need for my first rental
Most first time rental investors start with $50,000 to $100,000 depending on down payment, appraisal, closing costs, small repairs, and reserves. The better the deal cash flows, the easier your approval becomes.
What is ARV in simple words
ARV means After Repair Value. It is the price your property should sell for after renovation. Lenders use this number to decide how much they can lend. Higher ARV with realistic sold comps means better funding.
What is DSCR in simple words
DSCR(Debt Service Coverage Ratio) tells the lender if the rent is enough to pay your mortgage and expenses.
DSCR = Rent minus taxes minus insurance minus HOA divided by monthly payment.
If DSCR is 1.0 or higher, the property pays for itself.
How long does approval take
For fix and flip loans, initial approval can take 2 -3 business days.
For DSCR rentals, initial approval often takes 2 -3 business days.
If your documents are ready and the deal is good, it can move very fast.
What documents do I need for DSCR loans
A property with rent that covers the payment is the main requirement.
You will also need:
- A credit report
- A bank statement showing reserves
- An appraisal
- An insurance quote
- LLC documents
- No income documents are required because the property qualifies itself.
How do rehab draws work on fix and flip loans
You pay for the first part of the rehab. Once that portion is complete, the lender sends an inspector, verifies the work, and releases your next draw. This repeats until the project is finished. I help you plan this so you do not run out of cash.
Can I use private money
Yes. Many beginners use private money, gap funding, or partners to reduce how much of their own cash goes into the deal. Some lenders allow second position lenders and some do not. I help you structure this correctly.
Should I start with a flip or a rental
If you need cash fast and want experience, start with a flip.
If you want long term income and stability, start with a rental.
Many new investors do one flip first, then use the profit to buy their first rental.
What makes a good flip deal
- A discount of at least 30%-40% below ARV
- Rehab level that fits your experience level, don’t go for a gut rehab if you’re a first time fix and flipper
- A stable neighborhood
- Clear contractor bids and timeline
- Strong profit even after holding and closing cost
What makes a good rental deal
- DSCR of 1.0 or higher at today’s rates
- Positive monthly cash flow
- A good rental location
- Manageable repairs
- Safe reserves
