Unlike lender-operated comparison pages, we don't rank ourselves #1
(we're not a lender — we shop across all of them for you). Rankings
below are alphabetical. Data is
verified manually every month against each lender's public materials.
Covering
14 national DSCR lenders
— funded volume, state coverage, DSCR/FICO minimums, max LTV,
foreign-national policy, and specialty programs side-by-side.
Each lender's public website, product sheets, program matrix,
published calculators, and (where available) broker-facing rate
sheets. We do not accept paid placement.
Refresh cadence
Lender data is re-verified every 30 days. Rate tables on the
DSCR rates page
refresh weekly. The last-verified date sits on every lender record.
No rankings
The table is sortable and filterable. We intentionally do not
publish a "best overall" pick because the right lender depends on
credit, property type, state, and strategy.
Known limits
Program terms change frequently. Use these numbers as a
starting-point filter; final terms always come from a live quote.
Flag corrections to the editorial team and we'll re-verify.

Get Matched With The Top 3 For Your Deal
Tell us about your deal once. We'll shop it across every lender on this
page (and 25+ more) and send you three real offers — rate, fees,
prepayment penalty, close timeline — typically within one business hour.
Every field is manually verified against the lender's public website, marketing materials, and (where accessible) rate sheets. We re-verify monthly and the last-verified date is stored on each lender record. Lender programs change, so the data is a starting point — final terms always come from the lender's underwriter.
