Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get an investment property loan in Indiana without tax returns?
Yes. Our Indiana investor programs qualify the property, not the borrower. A DSCR loan is underwritten on the rental income the property produces, so tax returns, W-2s, and employment verification are not required.
What credit score do I need for a Indiana investment property loan?
DSCR programs typically start around a 680 credit score with 20–25% down. Borrowers at 740 and above may qualify with as little as 15% down. Requirements vary by program and property type — confirm current guidelines before relying on these figures.
Do you lend on primary residences in Indiana?
No. In Indiana we offer business-purpose, non-owner-occupied financing only — investment properties, rentals, and entity-held real estate. We do not originate owner-occupied or consumer-purpose mortgages in this state.
Can a foreign national or LLC borrow in Indiana?
Yes. Business-purpose loans in Indiana can close in the name of an LLC, corporation, or trust, and foreign-national borrowers are eligible under our NONI program, which requires no U.S. income or asset verification.
How is DSCR calculated on a Indiana property?
DSCR is the property’s gross rental income divided by its PITIA — principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and any association dues. A ratio at or above 1.0 means the rent covers the payment. Some programs allow ratios below 1.0 with compensating factors.
