01
Underwritten on What It Earns
Hold the property and we run it as DSCR — the loan is sized against the net operating income. Your W-2, or the absence of one, is not the story.
DSCR & cash-out refinance · Direct lender
DSCR and Cash-Out Refinance qualified on the rent, not your tax return
Move into a better rate and term, or pull out the equity you've already built. We size the loan against what the property earns — no tax returns, no W-2s, no explaining your write-offs to a credit officer. Direct lender, real terms in 5 minutes.

Underwriting
What you can actually pull out
Borrow against the equity you have already built. The property's own numbers set the advance — which is exactly why this works when your tax return doesn't.

Max LTV
Refinance advances on Bridge are set by your track record and credit. The full 100% advance is reserved for qualified Fix & Flip — not cash-out or rate-and-term refinance.
- Bridge track — repositioning, or exiting by sale
- Advance set by the experience-and-credit grid
- Single-family non-owner-occupied Bridge caps at 90%
Holding for income routes to DSCR cash-out, underwritten on net operating income — up to 75% LTV on single-family non-owner-occupied and 65% on commercial assets. For 100% LTV, see Fix & Flip: 3+ completed projects and a loan of $1,000,000 or less.
If you don't clear the full advance
Below the full advance, max LTV is a function of two things at once: projects you have closed, and your credit score. Find your row, then your column.
| Projects closed | 660–699credit | 700–719credit | 720+credit |
|---|---|---|---|
| First-time investor | 70% | 75% | 80% |

| 3–5 projects | 80% | 85% | 90% |
| 6–9 projects | 85% | 90% | 93% |

Why refinance with CR Equity AI
A bank underwrites the borrower. We underwrite the building — which is the one that actually pays the loan back.

Replace an Expensive Loan
Retire hard money or a maturing balloon with a structure that has a real exit.

DSCR and refinance FAQ
What DSCR means, and how cash-out refinance works here.
DSCR is the property's net operating income divided by its annual debt service. At 1.00x the rent exactly covers the mortgage; at 1.25x it covers it with 25% to spare. We calculate NOI ourselves from market rent, taxes and insurance data rather than taking your number for it — so the ratio you see is the ratio we lend on. Every quote shows your current DSCR alongside the 1.00x and 1.20x thresholds so you can see exactly where the deal sits.
No. On a hold, the loan is underwritten as DSCR — sized against the property's net operating income. That is the whole point of the structure, and it is why self-employed investors use it.
Up to 95% on the Bridge track — repositioning the asset or exiting by sale — set by your completed projects and credit score. If you are holding it for income it runs as DSCR cash-out: up to 75% LTV on single-family non-owner-occupied and 65% on commercial assets. Single-family non-owner-occupied Bridge is flat 90%. 100% LTV is available only on qualified Fix & Flip (3+ completed projects and a loan of $1,000,000 or less).
Yes. Owning it free and clear simply means the whole advance comes back to you as cash.
The property's value, your existing mortgage balance, and the yearly net operating income if you are holding it.
Then it runs as a bridge refinance while you finish the work, and moves into stabilization once the numbers are proven — with no new application.
No. All CR Equity AI loans are business-purpose. We do not lend on an owner-occupied primary residence.
Yes. ITIN holders and foreign national investors are eligible. LTV is based on experience and may be reduced based on final underwriting. Additional documentation may be required.
