Program FAQ

No. DSCR loans, bridge loans, fix-and-flip, and construction loans are all classified as business purpose loans — secured by investment property, not a primary residence. Business purpose loans are exempt from NMLS licensing requirements. ClosingLane operates as a commercial mortgage broker with no NMLS required.
680 is the floor for most DSCR programs. Borrowers at 700+ access better pricing. At 740+ you're eligible for the most competitive rate tiers and LTV structures. A lower score doesn't automatically disqualify you — tell us your deal and we'll find the right match.
10–14 business days is standard for experienced borrowers with clean deal structures. Some hard money programs move in 5–7 days. The speed comes from skipping income docs and tax returns — it's asset-based underwriting, not income-based.
Bridge loans fund acquisitions without a renovation budget attached. Fix-and-flip loans include a renovation holdback — funds disbursed in draws as work is completed. If you have a construction scope, fix-and-flip is the right tool. If it's light cosmetics or a straight acquisition, bridge is usually cleaner.
Yes. LLC vesting is accepted — and often preferred — on all four programs. Single-member LLCs are standard. Multi-member LLCs may require a personal guarantee from each guarantor. We'll walk you through the entity requirements for your specific deal.
Start with just your deal details — property address, purchase price, loan amount, and what you're trying to accomplish. We'll match you with lenders and tell you exactly what docs they need. For DSCR: credit, lease or rent analysis, appraisal, entity docs. No tax returns. Bridge and fix-and-flip add a scope of work. Construction adds plans and permits.
Single-family residences (SFR), 2–4 unit properties, condos, and 5–8 unit small multifamily are all DSCR-eligible. Short-term rentals (Airbnb, VRBO) are accepted by many lenders using market rent data instead of a traditional lease. Commercial properties typically need a commercial mortgage program instead.
Generally, lenders require a licensed GC to oversee new construction draws. Experienced developer-borrowers with a track record of completed projects may qualify with select private lenders. Plans and permits must be in place at closing regardless of who's managing the build.
