Long-Term Rental Financing

The DSCR Lender Built for Creative Finance & Complex Deals

Rates starting at 5.39%*. Minimum credit score as low as 550 (scenario-dependent). Up to 85% LTV on purchase. Levine Capital is the go-to Morby Method and Stack Method lender for rental portfolios, non-warrantable condos, rural homes, and manufactured housing.

Why Real Estate Investors Choose Levine Capital

Traditional banks and cookie-cutter DSCR lenders break down the moment a transaction involves a non-warrantable condo project, creative finance, subordinate seller carry, rural land, or a manufactured home. We are backed by multiple institutional capital providers with correspondent and wholesale channels, which means we do not force every deal into the same rigid box.

Whether you are acquiring a single-family rental, building a multi-property portfolio, or executing a complex Stack Method acquisition, our underwriting team tailors the loan to the actual structure of the deal.

Where other lenders see exceptions, we see a deal that needs the right structure. Our team evaluates qualifying non-warrantable condos alongside rural acreage, manufactured housing, and creative capital stacks instead of relying on a single agency checklist.

Have a Non-Warrantable Condo or Specialty Property?

Submit the project, property, and capital-stack details through Quick Quote. We evaluate qualifying non-warrantable condo, rural, and manufactured-home scenarios through the appropriate lending channel.

Specialized Solutions: Non-Warrantable Condos & Complex Deals

Standard lending guidelines can stop at the project, property, or capital structure. Levine Capital evaluates the complete investment scenario and routes it to an appropriate channel.

Non-Warrantable Condominiums

We evaluate qualifying non-warrantable condominiums for DSCR rental and Fix & Flip scenarios. Review includes the project, insurance, budget and reserves, litigation, occupancy, property condition, cash flow, and exit strategy. All terms remain subject to underwriting and capital-provider approval.

Rural Properties

Available for rural properties. While rural deals carry specific capital-channel overlays depending on acreage and location, our team knows how to structure them to close.

Manufactured Homes

Manufactured housing can be financed through our specialized wholesale and correspondent channels. We understand the titling and valuation nuances that make other lenders walk away.

No Seasoning Cash-Out

No seasoning required on a cash-out refinance when you provide before-and-after photos and proof of payment (paid invoices, lien waivers, or receipts). Also zero seasoning when refinancing out of a fix & flip loan or all-cash purchase.

The Stack Method & Morby Method Advantage: Adam Levine is a member of Pace Morby’s Owners Club, SubTo, and Gator communities, and Levine Capital specializes in evaluating layered creative-finance structures. We allow seller-held second-position financing in eligible DSCR and Fix & Flip structures when the senior lender permits it and the full capital stack passes underwriting, title, leverage, and repayment review.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a DSCR rental loan?

A Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan allows real estate investors to qualify for rental property financing based on the property’s cash flow rather than personal W-2 income or tax returns. If the monthly rent covers the PITIA mortgage payment (typically a 1.0x ratio or higher), the loan qualifies.

What is the minimum credit score for a DSCR loan at Levine Capital?

Our DSCR program features a minimum credit score starting as low as 550 (scenario-dependent). We work with investors across a wide credit spectrum by leveraging multiple institutional capital providers and correspondent channels.

Can Levine Capital finance rural properties and manufactured homes?

Yes. Levine Capital is recognized as a go-to lender for rural properties and manufactured homes. While these property types involve specialized capital channels, we understand the nuances and know how to get them closed.

Can Levine Capital finance a non-warrantable condominium?

Yes, qualifying non-warrantable condos may be considered for DSCR rental or Fix & Flip financing. We review the condominium project and the individual deal, including insurance, budget and reserves, litigation, occupancy, property condition, cash flow, and exit strategy. Approval and terms depend on full underwriting and the selected capital provider.

How does the no-seasoning cash-out refinance work?

We require zero seasoning on a cash-out refinance if you provide before-and-after photos and proof of payment (paid invoices, lien waivers, or receipts). There is also no seasoning required when transitioning out of a Levine Capital fix-and-flip loan or an all-cash purchase into a long-term DSCR loan.

How does Levine Capital support Morby Method and Stack Method investors?

As a credit-verified partner to creative finance investors and a member of Pace Morby’s Owners Club, Levine Capital evaluates DSCR takeout loans with seller financing, subject-to acquisitions, and multi-layered capital stacks. Seller-held second-position financing is allowed in eligible structures when the first-position lender permits it and the transaction meets underwriting, title, leverage, and repayment requirements.
