Close your investment property loan in an LLC, LP, corporation, or trust — no personal guarantee required on select programs.
One of the most powerful features of DSCR loans is the ability to close in the name of a legal entity — LLC, LP, corporation, or trust — without requiring a personal guarantee on select programs. This is a game-changer for investors who want to hold properties in entities for liability protection, estate planning, or portfolio organization. Conventional mortgages almost never allow entity vesting. DSCR loans do.
Holding investment properties in an LLC separates your personal assets from your investment portfolio. If a tenant sues, your personal home and savings are shielded. DSCR loans allow you to close directly in the LLC name — no need to transfer title after closing (which can trigger a due-on-sale clause).
Some DSCR lenders offer non-recourse or limited-recourse programs where the loan is secured only by the property — not your personal assets. This is ideal for investors who want to limit personal liability exposure across their portfolio.
DSCR loans accept a wide range of entity types: single-member LLCs, multi-member LLCs, limited partnerships, corporations (S-Corp, C-Corp), and revocable or irrevocable trusts. Each lender has specific requirements — we will match you to the right program for your entity structure.
Many investors hold each property in a separate LLC for maximum liability isolation. DSCR loans support this approach — each LLC can hold one or more properties, and each loan is underwritten on the property income, not the entity financials.
Revocable living trusts are commonly used for estate planning. DSCR loans can close in the name of a trust, allowing you to pass investment properties to heirs without probate. We work with lenders who accept trust vesting on DSCR loans.
Holding properties in an LLC or S-Corp can provide significant tax advantages — pass-through taxation, depreciation, and deductibility of expenses. DSCR loans do not require you to show the entity tax returns, so your entity structure does not affect your ability to qualify.
Because DSCR loans are based on property income (not personal DTI), you can hold multiple DSCR loans across multiple entities simultaneously. Each deal is evaluated independently. There is no conventional loan limit — scale as fast as your deals allow.
To close a DSCR loan in an LLC, you will typically need: Articles of Organization, Operating Agreement, EIN, and a Certificate of Good Standing. Some lenders require the LLC to be at least 30-90 days old. We will walk you through exactly what is needed for your entity type.
Yes. DSCR loans are one of the few mortgage products that allow you to close in the name of an LLC, LP, corporation, or trust. Conventional mortgages almost never allow this. DSCR loans are specifically designed for investment properties and support entity vesting.
It depends on the lender and program. Some DSCR lenders offer non-recourse or limited-recourse programs where no personal guarantee is required. Others require a personal guarantee from the principals of the LLC. We will find the right program for your situation.
