Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get an investment property loan in New Jersey without tax returns?
Yes. Our New Jersey 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 New Jersey 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 New Jersey?
No. In New Jersey 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 New Jersey?
Yes. Business-purpose loans in New Jersey 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 New Jersey 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.
Are there New Jersey-specific rules I should know about?
Prepayment structures are not available everywhere. Availability and terms vary by state, by loan amount, and by whether the borrower takes title personally or through an entity. We confirm the structure for your state and vesting before quoting.
