Loans for investors

What the box says no to.

Most lenders read your deal against a box. If it doesn't fit, the answer is no. We're a broker. We read your deal against what's actually possible, then find the lender built for it.

Questions

Straight answers.

Do I need tax returns for a DSCR loan?

No. A DSCR loan qualifies on the property's rent against its payment. We still check credit, reserves, and the property itself.

What DSCR do I need?

Most programs want 1.0 to 1.25. Some lend below 1.0 at a higher rate or a lower loan-to-value. Run it in the DSCR calculator above, then send it to us.

Can I close in my LLC?

Yes. DSCR and commercial loans close in an LLC or other entity. Most of them still ask for a personal guarantee.

How does financing work inside a 1031 exchange?

Your qualified intermediary holds the sale proceeds. We arrange the loan on the replacement property to close inside your 180 days. To defer all of the tax, you usually buy equal or greater value and replace the debt you paid off, or add cash. Confirm the details with your QI and CPA.

Can my self-directed IRA or Solo 401(k) get a loan?

Yes, if the loan is non-recourse: it's secured only by the property, and you don't sign a personal guarantee. Expect a lower loan-to-value than a standard investor loan. An IRA may owe tax on the debt-financed share of income, and a Solo 401(k) generally doesn't. Ask your CPA.

Why does the application say NEXA?

Alura Capital originates loans through NEXA Mortgage LLC, NMLS 1660690. Your file, our team, George's license. NEXA is the licensed lender the paperwork runs through.

Will you pull my credit before I know anything?

No. We start with a conversation and a soft check. You get terms in writing before a hard pull or an appraisal.

Do you charge a fee, and where does it show up?

Talking costs nothing. No application fee. Every fee, ours included, is itemized in writing before you commit.

Rates get quoted low and then creep up before closing. What's locked?

Before you pay for an appraisal you get it in writing: what's fixed, what can still move, and why. Three things usually move: the appraised value, the rent the appraiser assigns on a DSCR deal, and the rate until it's locked. Once locked, it holds for the full lock period.

What about the prepayment penalty on DSCR loans?

Most DSCR programs carry one, often 5-4-3-2-1 over five years. A shorter one, or none, usually costs a higher rate. We'll put the options in writing before you pick.

Can I be my own GC on a build?

Owner-builder construction is possible with the right experience and program. We'll tell you the conditions before you spend a dollar.

You say close fast. How fast?

Bridge loans on investment property close fastest. With clean title and numbers that work, two to three weeks is realistic. DSCR loans usually take three to five weeks, and commercial loans longer. Before you commit, we give you the date and the short list of things that could move it.

Do you lend outside Florida?

Yes, for investors. We arrange business-purpose DSCR, bridge, rehab, construction, and commercial loans across the country through our lending partners. Some states require a license even for investor loans, so we confirm your state on the first call. Loans on a home you live in or use yourself, even for part of the year, are for Florida properties only. So are VA loans.

Do you do VA loans?

Yes. VA purchase, IRRRL, and cash-out for eligible veterans on Florida properties, including homes with up to four units when you live in one of them.

When you send us a scenario, we collect the name, phone, email, and details you type so a licensed loan officer can call you back.

Terms

This site describes loan programs in general terms. Nothing here is a commitment to lend or a rate quote. Every loan is subject to credit approval, underwriting guidelines, and property review. Calculators, spreadsheets, and guides are estimates for planning, not tax, legal, or investment advice. Program rules change; we confirm the current ones in writing before you commit. Property imagery on this site is illustrative.

Accessibility

We want everyone to be able to use this site. It is built with proper headings, labels, keyboard focus, and reduced-motion support. If anything here is hard to use with your assistive technology, call (813) 356-9448 or email info@aluracapital.com and we will help you directly and fix the page.
