Maximums, not promises. Where your file lands inside a box depends on credit, experience and the asset — the term sheet shows the adjustment math.

Borrower eligibility — entity requirements, foreign nationals, first-time investors — is on who we lend to.

What moves you inside the box

PRICING COMES DOWN
Each 5% under max LTV — −0.125%

5-year prepay structure — −0.25%
Repeat borrower, 3+ loans — −0.125%
Experience tier 3 on flips — −0.25%

The adjustment math appears on your term sheet in full — base tier, every adjustment, final rate. Nothing gets applied you cannot see.

What kills a file

Worth knowing before you spend a week on it. These are hard stops, not adjustments.

01Owner-occupied residential. Business-purpose loans only — if you or your family live there, we cannot lend. Owner-occupied commercial is different: a business in its own building is financeable on the commercial programs.
02Unentitled land. Ground-up needs entitlements in hand, or a costed path with a date on it.
03Cannabis-related use. Any part of the income, at any tier, in any state.
04The eight excluded states. No exceptions, regardless of how good the deal is.
05Open litigation on title. Clear it first — we will re-open the file the day it resolves.
EXCEPTIONS
A guideline is a starting point, not a wall
Files land outside a box constantly — a DSCR at 0.94 with twelve months of reserves, a borrower whose credit event has a real explanation, a property type nobody wrote a rule for. Send it. You will get a straight answer the same day rather than a form rejection three days later.
What we will not do is quote you inside the box and then reprice once you are committed.

Send the address. We'll send the terms.
