Need to renovate before qualifying for DSCR financing in Charlotte?

If your Charlotte investment property needs repairs before it can qualify for a 30-year DSCR rental loan, we can fund the acquisition and rehab first using a short-term bridge loan.

Once the property is stabilized and generating rental income, we can refinance you into a long-term DSCR loan based on cash flow.
