COMMON INQUIRIES
Answers
For Complex Scenarios
Clear guidance on alternative lending options, commercial financing timelines and income that may fall outside traditional lending guidelines.
How does alternative lending differ from A-tier banks?
Alternative lenders focus on equity and cash flow rather than strict debt service ratios. This provides flexibility for self-employed individuals or those with complex tax structures, though typically at a slight premium.
What are the baseline requirements for Rent-to-Own?
A minimum upfront deposit (typically 3-5%) and a clear trajectory toward qualifying for a traditional mortgage within 24 to 36 months. We design the exit strategy before you sign.
Can I use retained earnings to qualify?
Yes. For incorporated professionals and business owners, we partner with specialized lenders who recognize corporate retained earnings, avoiding the need to draw heavily taxable personal income.
What is a realistic timeline for commercial financing?
Standard commercial timelines require 45 to 60 days to account for environmental assessments and appraisals. However, bridge or private commercial financing can be deployed in as little as 10 to 14 days.
How is a holding company treated for qualification?
Holdco structures require a holistic review of both operating and holding company financials. We leverage specialized net-worth and corporate cash flow programs to maximize your borrowing capacity.
Is portfolio restructuring disruptive to existing tenants?
Not at all. Restructuring happens entirely at the financial level. We consolidate or reposition equity across your portfolio without requiring new property inspections that might alarm tenants.
