Quick Answer

Rental and investment property B-Lender financing qualifies borrowers primarily on the cash flow generated by the property itself, using rental income offsets that are typically more generous than major bank guidelines allow. This suits investors whose personal debt-service ratios are stretched across multiple properties but whose rental income comfortably covers each mortgage.

  • Rental income offsets debt-service ratios more generously than banks allow
  • Suits growing multi-property portfolios
  • Existing or projected market rents both considered
  • Available for single-family, multi-unit, and small apartment properties

When Bank Ratios Can't Keep Up With Your Portfolio

Every property you add strains personal debt-service ratios at the bank. B-Lenders assess the properties differently.

Generous Rental Offsets

A larger share of rental income counts toward qualifying, reducing the personal income burden of each property.

Portfolio-Friendly

Financing structured to support investors continuing to add properties, not just a single rental purchase.

Existing or Projected Rents

Both current lease income and reasonable projected market rent can support the application.
