Hard Money Wins
Hard Money saves you $486,830 in total cost versus DSCR. But don't stop at price — consider qualification speed, prepayment penalties, and how long you plan to hold.
Conventional Loans
Best for buy-and-hold investors with good W-2 income and credit. Lowest rates, longest terms, but requires personal income qualification (DTI ratio). Typically 20–25% down for investment properties, with rates 0.5–0.75% above primary residence loans.
DSCR Loans
Qualify based on the property's income, not yours — perfect for scaling beyond 10 financed properties. Higher rates and points than conventional, but no tax returns or employment verification needed. Most lenders require a DSCR of 1.0–1.25x.
Hard Money Loans
Short-term, asset-based financing for flips, BRRRRs, and bridge scenarios. Highest cost but fastest to close (often 7–14 days). Low down payment requirements with higher interest rates and upfront points. Plan your exit — refi or sell — before the term expires.
