Direct lender. We lend our own capital.
Birmingham's low cost basis and high yields attract both rental investors and value-add buyers. Renovations in older neighborhoods often turn into long-term holds, so pairing a fix-and-flip loan with a DSCR exit is a common plan.
Most of what we finance in the Birmingham metro: Low-basis rentals, renovations and small commercial.
Same national programs apply in Birmingham: DSCR for rentals, bridge for speed-sensitive acquisitions and lease-up, and fix and flip with rehab draws. Soft credit pull to see terms. Business-purpose only — not owner-occupied homes.

Birmingham questions
Soft credit pull only — no hit to your score to get terms Business-purpose lending in 48 states. Typical close 9-15 days.
Yes. CR Equity AI funds DSCR, bridge and fix-and-flip loans for investment properties across Jefferson, Shelby and St. Clair counties, including Hoover, Homewood, Bessemer and Center Point. Loans are for business-purpose real estate: single-family, 2–4 unit, multifamily, mixed-use and commercial.
Fix-and-flip loans can fund in 24–48 hours once the file is complete, and purchase loans typically close in 9–15 days. Timing depends on title, appraisal or valuation, and how quickly documents come in.
Yes. A DSCR loan qualifies on the property's rental income compared with its monthly debt payment, so personal tax returns and W-2s are not used to qualify. Credit, reserves and the property itself are still reviewed.
Single-family rentals and flips, 2–4 unit properties, apartment buildings with five or more units, mixed-use buildings and small-balance commercial properties. Owner-occupied homes are not eligible because these are business-purpose loans.
Yes. CR Equity AI uses a soft credit pull only to price a deal, so checking terms does not hit your score. A hard pull happens later, only after you accept terms and move toward closing.
Yes. Many investors finish a renovation with a fix-and-flip loan, lease the property, then refinance into a DSCR loan to hold it. Planning both loans at the start makes the refinance faster.
