Built for the way investors actually buy

Four ways the same 30-year loan gets used — pick the shape that matches the deal.

01
Purchase
Close in your LLC with 20% down, qualified on market rent from day one — leased or not.
02
Cash-out refi
Pull equity to 75% LTV for the next acquisition. The BRRRR exit, without the bank.
03
Short-term rental
Airbnb & VRBO underwritten on 12-month host history or AirDNA projections — not long-term comps.
04
Portfolio
Blanket 2–20 doors on one note, one payment — with partial-release provisions when you sell.
THE ONLY FORMULA IN THE FILE
Rent
PITIA
=
DSCR
At 1.00 the rent carries the payment. Above 1.25 you're in the best pricing tier. PITIA = principal, interest, taxes, insurance, association dues.

Common questions

The property is vacant — can I still qualify?+
Yes. Purchases qualify on market rent from the appraisal’s rent schedule (Form 1007), leased or not. Refinances of vacant units price at slightly lower leverage.
When does my rate lock?+
At the signed term sheet. The number on the sheet is the number at the table — repricing mid-file is the thing Silt was built not to do.
How does Airbnb income count?+
Twelve months of host history when you have it, market STR data when you don’t. Full detail in our STR income guide.
Can I blanket several rentals into one loan?+
Yes — 2–20 doors on one note with one payment, and partial-release provisions when you sell a property out of the pool.
What if the DSCR comes in under 1.00?+
Two levers: more equity (lower LTV) or a rate buy-down. Files between 0.90 and 1.00 are case-by-case, not auto-declines.

Questions we get on DSCR

ANSWERED BEFORE YOU HAVE TO ASK
Do you look at my income or tax returns?
No. A DSCR loan qualifies on the property’s rent against its payment — principal, interest, taxes, insurance and any association dues. There is no debt-to-income test, no W-2s, no employment verification and no tax returns at any point in the file.
Can I close in an LLC?
You have to. Every Silt loan closes in an LLC or corporation — never a personal name. If you don’t have one yet, form it while we underwrite; it doesn’t hold up pricing or a term sheet.
What if the property is vacant?
Still fine. We use market rent from the appraiser’s rent survey rather than an in-place lease. A signed lease helps at the margin, but a vacant rent-ready property is a normal DSCR file.
How long do I have to own it before a cash-out?
Six months on title is the standard seasoning. If you bought it cash and completed a documented renovation, we can often work off the new appraised value sooner — send the invoices.
Do you pull credit just to give me a rate?
No. Send the address, the rent and a rough credit band and you get a written quote. Credit is only pulled once you want to move to a term sheet, and it sets your tier — nothing else.
Is there a limit on how many properties I can finance?
No. Agency lenders cap you at ten financed properties; we count the rent roll and the sponsor instead. This is the most common reason experienced investors move to us.

Something not covered here is usually a five-minute call, not a rejection. The full boxes are on the guidelines page.
