FAQ

Questions BBF members ask most

No — there's a specific zero-experience program for first-time builders. A licensed, experienced general contractor on your team satisfies the requirement. Every deal after that makes the next one easier to finance.

DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio — a loan that qualifies based on the property's rental income, not your personal income. If the property cash flows, you can qualify. Ideal for scaling a rental portfolio without the paperwork.

Yes. Most investor programs — DSCR, fix & flip, bridge, construction — support closing in an LLC, corporation, or trust. Standard practice for portfolio protection.

Fix & flip loans are short-term (6–24 months) for properties you plan to sell. DSCR loans are long-term rental financing for properties you hold. Common strategy: flip to acquire and rehab, then refi into DSCR once stabilized (BRRRR method).

Fix & flip and bridge: 7–14 days in the right scenario. DSCR: 21–30 days. Construction: 30–45 days. I set realistic timelines upfront and push hard to hit them.

In most cases, no. Brokers are compensated by the lender, not out of your pocket. You get more options and someone working for you without an extra fee.

Zero. Submit your deal or call — no credit pull to start. I'll review it, tell you which programs fit, and give you realistic terms. Credit review required for formal application, but we don't start there.
