The Crestmark DSCR Loan Process
Investor-Focused DSCR Financing. Built for Speed, Clarity, and Results.
Step 1: Investor Profile Review & Strategy
Every DSCR loan starts with understanding you and the property.
We begin by reviewing your borrower profile, entity structure, property type, and investment strategy. This allows us to identify the most appropriate DSCR lenders and loan programs for your scenario before moving forward.
Why this matters:
DSCR loans are not all the same. Careful upfront analysis helps prevent delays, wasted time, and unexpected issues during the process.
Step 2: Lender Matching & Program Selection
We don’t force your deal into a single lender’s box.
As a DSCR-focused mortgage brokerage, Crestmark works with a wide network of investor-friendly lenders. Based on your profile, we match your loan with the lender and program that best aligns with your goals — whether that’s leverage, rate, flexibility, or speed.
What makes us different:
We shop the loan for you, so you’re not limited to one lender’s guidelines or pricing.
Step 3: Transparent Terms & Rate Quote
Once the optimal program is identified, we provide clear, upfront guidance on:
- Available loan terms
- Expected rates
- Down payment or equity requirements
- Estimated closing costs
Because DSCR pricing varies by borrower profile and lender, all quotes are based on real data — not advertised teaser rates.
Our approach:
No guesswork. No rate bait. Just accurate, scenario-based guidance.
Step 4: Streamlined Underwriting & Documentation
DSCR loans are designed to reduce income documentation, and we keep the process efficient.
Underwriting focuses primarily on:
- Property cash flow (DSCR)
- Credit profile
- Property and entity documentation
We coordinate directly with the lender, appraisal, and title to keep your loan moving forward with minimal friction.
Investor advantage:
Fewer documents. Faster decisions. Clear communication.
Step 5: Clear-to-Close & Funding
Once conditions are satisfied, we guide you through final approval and closing. Our team stays engaged through funding to ensure timelines are met and expectations are clear.
Most DSCR loans can close in approximately 3–5 weeks, depending on lender and transaction complexity.
