Ken, simply put, is the man. I was weary of using hard money on a deal that I thought would be easy to get a conventional loan for, but then 2 different banks backed out on me. But not before they dragged me along for weeks and even months asking for more and more docs, papers, calls, emails, forms, etc. I thought it was finally all sewn up and then the bank pulled out literally the day before the appraisal appointment. At this point I had less than a month to get an entire new purchase loan AND cash-out refinance (to pay for the new down payment), and I called Ken. I have never in any industry in my life seen someone as responsive and proactive as Ken is. Calls, emails, texts, he is there to help. This was a commercial deal so the appraisal part took longer than residential, but Ken's lending side was quicker than anything I've ever seen. I was beyond stressed about this deal but with Ken's help we finally closed. I am so grateful and I cannot recommend him enough.

Ken has always been there every step of the way to get my loan closed. No matter what time of the day I called, he was there. I would definitely recommend him, especially if other lenders have already said no. He’ll get it done!

Ken is a valuable partner in business no nonsense type whom some would call abrasive but I appreciate because he has always been straight forward rates may be a bit higher but he can close. He is my go to lender whenever I need to close a deal.

New Jersey FAQs

New Jersey Hard Money & DSCR Loan FAQs

Answers to the questions New Jersey real estate investors ask most often about DSCR rental financing and our other loan programs.

What is a DSCR loan in New Jersey?

A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan is property-based financing that qualifies you on the rental income the property generates — not your personal income or tax returns. It's built for buy-and-hold rental investors across New Jersey.

How much can I borrow with a DSCR loan?

DSCR loans in New Jersey range from $75,000 to $2,000,000. Maximum leverage depends on your credit profile: up to 80% LTV on purchase and rate/term refinance, and up to 75% LTV on cash-out refinance for borrowers with a 700+ FICO. Lower credit tiers and foreign nationals are eligible at reduced leverage.

What are current DSCR loan rates in New Jersey?

DSCR rates start from 5.75%, depending on market conditions — DSCR pricing moves with the 10-Year Treasury, so your final rate will be quoted at the time of application based on current market conditions and your loan profile.

Can foreign nationals get a DSCR loan in New Jersey?

Yes. Foreign national investors are eligible for New Jersey DSCR loans up to 65% LTV, without a U.S. credit history or personal income verification.

Can I use a DSCR loan for a vacation or short-term rental at the Jersey Shore?

No. Our standard DSCR program is for non-owner-occupied 1–4 unit properties and excludes vacation or seasonal rentals. If you're financing a short-term rental property, our No-DSCR Rental Loans program is designed for that use case instead.

Can I do a cash-out refinance right after purchasing a property?

Cash-out refinancing isn't available within 90 days of your purchase date. Between 91–180 days, cash-out refinancing based on the property's increased value is allowed with a scope of work documenting completed rehab. After 180 days, standard cash-out guidelines apply.

What DSCR ratio do I need to qualify?

Most DSCR programs require a minimum ratio of 1.05x, meaning the property's rental income needs to cover at least 105% of the debt payment. Qualification is based on rent rolls, not W-2s or personal tax returns.

Do DSCR loans require an LLC or corporation?

Yes — DSCR loans must close in the name of an LLC or corporation. Personal ownership is not permitted for this program.

Can DSCR loans be used for commercial properties?

No. DSCR financing is designed exclusively for 1–4 unit residential investment properties. If you're financing a commercial, mixed-use, or 5+ unit building, our Commercial or 5+ Unit Multifamily programs are the right fit instead.

How fast can a DSCR loan close in New Jersey?

DSCR loans typically close in 14 days or less once approved, with initial approvals often issued within 30 minutes.

What credit score do I need for a DSCR loan?

Most DSCR programs require a 660+ mid credit score. The property's rental income remains the primary qualifying factor.

Do you offer fix & flip or spec construction loans in NJ too?

Yes. Alongside DSCR, we offer fix & flip loans, spec construction financing, and commercial lending across New Jersey — all designed to close quickly so you can scale your investments.

Which New Jersey markets are strongest for DSCR rentals?

Jersey City, Hoboken, Newark, Camden, Paterson, and towns along the Jersey Shore consistently show strong rental demand — making them popular markets for DSCR investors.
