01

Identify the completed investment property you intend to keep as a rental, the ownership entity, and the proposed lease or rental-income evidence.
From completed construction to rental hold
Built it to keep it? Plan the long-term financing.
Explore replacing construction debt with DSCR financing for a completed investment rental. Start with property readiness, rental income, payoff, and timing.
Plan the takeout before construction debt matures.
02
Review completion and readiness
Discuss final inspections, occupancy documentation where required, remaining work, utilities, insurance, and the appraisal. A construction budget or projected finished value alone does not establish eligibility.
03
Compare the payoff with proceeds
Bring the construction lender’s payoff estimate, maturity date, and any release, exit, or prepayment charges. Review potential refinance proceeds after costs and any cash needed to close.
04
Coordinate the refinance timeline
Review rental coverage, valuation basis, ownership seasoning, credit, reserves, and title requirements. Confirm payoff timing with the current lender and allow for underwriting and closing.
Program availability varies by state, property, borrower, and lender. A scenario review is not an approval, closing commitment, or extension of construction debt.
A long-term financing conversation for your completed rentals.
Builders, brokers, and construction lenders can discuss a rental takeout scenario with Pillar. Bring the property details, expected rent, completion status, payoff, and maturity date.

Is this a construction loan?+
This page focuses on reviewing long-term DSCR takeout for completed investment properties intended as rentals. Funding land, construction draws, and unfinished projects requires a different financing review.
Can I refinance a newly completed rental?+
Possibly. Completion status, rental-income documentation, property eligibility, appraisal, ownership history, credit, and reserves must be reviewed against the selected program. New construction does not guarantee immediate DSCR eligibility.
Can I take cash out after construction?+
Potential cash-out depends on the selected program’s transaction classification, valuation basis, seasoning requirements, rental coverage, and leverage. Compare proceeds after the construction payoff and closing costs with an advisor.
Does this cover an entire build-to-rent community?+
An individual eligible rental and a multi-property development are different financing requests. Share the property count, ownership, title structure, and release requirements for review. Do not assume a blanket loan or community-level takeout is available.
Can my construction lender or broker coordinate with Pillar?+
Yes, they can bring a takeout scenario to Pillar’s partner desk. Discuss the introduction, borrower contact, required information, and update expectations with the team before the handoff.
