Built for BRRRR Investors

Missouri's price points make BRRRR one of the most effective portfolio-building strategies in the country. I finance every step.

B
Buy

Hard money or bridge loan for the acquisition. Fast close, asset-based underwriting.

R
Rehab

Renovation budget built into the bridge. Draw schedule tied to completion milestones.

R
Rent

Get the property stabilized. Documented rental income sets up the DSCR refi.

R
Refinance

DSCR cash-out refi at ARV. Pull equity back out to fund the next deal.

R
Repeat

Recycled capital, growing portfolio, compounding cash flow. That's the system.

The DSCR refi is where MO BRRRR deals come together. Missouri's acquisition prices are low enough that a well-executed BRRRR can often return most or all of your capital at the refinance — leaving a cash-flowing asset with minimal capital tied up.
Why DSCR Works in Missouri

Lower prices + steady rents = DSCR ratios that actually pencil. Here's why Missouri investors are moving fast on this product.

No W-2 or Tax Returns Required

Qualify on the property's rental income. Lenders look at DSCR = Rent ÷ PITIA. If the rent covers the mortgage, you can qualify.

LLC Closings Welcome

Protect your portfolio with entity structure. DSCR loans close in LLC or personal name — your choice based on your strategy.

No Portfolio Cap

Conventional loans stop working after 4–10 properties. DSCR has no strict limit — built for investors building at scale.

Cash-Out Available

Refinance existing rentals to pull equity and fund your next acquisition. DSCR cash-out is the BRRRR engine.

Loan Products

Non-QM financing for Missouri investors at every stage — from first rental to portfolio scale.

DSCR Purchase Loans

Buy investment property qualifying on rental income. SFR, duplex, multi-family. Purchase and cash-out refi.

DSCR Cash-Out Refinance

Pull equity from existing rentals. Fund your next acquisition, rehab, or down payment.

Bank Statement Loans

Self-employed investors who write off too much for conventional. 12–24 months bank statements.

Short-Term Rental Loans

DSCR underwritten on Airbnb/VRBO projected income for STR-eligible MO markets.

BRRRR Bridge Financing

Asset-based bridge loans for the buy and rehab phase. Pairs with a DSCR refi at stabilization.

Portfolio / Blanket Loans

Finance multiple MO properties under one loan. Simplify your portfolio as you scale.

The Institutional Lens

Before I originated loans, I was in the room where the credit committees happened. At Colony Capital — the same institution that spun out CoreVest, now one of the largest DSCR lenders in the country — I hosted credit committee presentations for the principal. DSCR coverage, debt yield, cap rates, LTC ratios — I watched institutional capital decide what gets funded and what doesn't.

Missouri is one of the most compelling investor markets in the country right now. The price-to-rent ratios in Kansas City, St. Louis, and Cape Girardeau are producing DSCR numbers that California and Texas investors haven't seen in years. I know what these deals look like from the lender's side — and I can tell you before you apply whether your deal pencils and how to structure it to get to yes.

I'm a licensed Mortgage Loan Officer, NMLS #2067609, licensed in Missouri (and California). I built The Loan Insider to help serious investors understand how the financing actually works — and I work Missouri deals directly.
