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 IL license is confirmed with the state regulator (check mark), IL 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.
