One DSCR Program, Three Ways to Use It
Purchase, refinance, or pull equity — the same cash-flow-based underwriting applies to each.
Purchase
Fits when you're acquiring a rental and qualifying on its projected income.
- Based on projected rent, not closing history
- SFR through fourplex + select 5–8 unit
Rate & Term Refinance
Fits when you're replacing existing debt on a stabilized rental — no cash out.
- Improves rate or structure, not cash position
- Common after a bridge or hard money exit
Cash-Out Refinance
Fits when you want equity back at closing to fund the next acquisition.
- Access equity from stabilized cash flow
- Used to fund reserves or portfolio growth

Investor Voices
Verified feedback from this program.
Borrower reviews associated with this loan path.
“We have many rental homes already and wanted to buy more. The Pillar DSCR loan was what we wanted. The process was straightforward, the terms were competitive, and they kept us updated as we closed. They answered every question we had, and we will be using them again as we continue to grow our portfolio. Thank you.”
