Before you choose

Agency limits on financed properties, reserves and rental income treatment push experienced investors toward specialized lenders.

  • How many financed properties can I have with your programs?
  • Can I close in an LLC?
  • Do you offer DSCR or portfolio loans if I hit agency limits?

How this list is ranked

Specialty evidence carries the most weight (production data, then lender page, then self-reported). Loan officers are listed when a AK license is confirmed with the state regulator (check mark), AK is listed on their lender page, or they work at a bank or credit union (likely federally registered; verify at NMLS). Then branch location, experience (licensed since, per the regulator records we hold) and profile completeness. Disciplinary history is not yet checked by LenDb; verify at NMLS Consumer Access. No paid placement. Methodology.

Same list as JSON: /api/v1/loan-officers?specialty=investor&state=AK. Not a lender. Not a referral service. Verify licenses at NMLS Consumer Access.
