I help real estate investors find financing that fits the deal—not force the deal into one lender’s box. As an independent mortgage broker with access to a wide network of lending partners, I can compare multiple programs and structures to find the right combination of leverage, pricing, and flexibility.
I work with investors ranging from first-time rental property buyers to experienced investors building and expanding their portfolios. Financing options include DSCR loans, conventional financing, fix-and-flip and bridge loans, short-term rental financing, cash-out refinances, HELOCs and second liens, bank statement and other Non-QM programs, as well as financing for 5+ unit multifamily and commercial properties.
Because I’m a broker rather than a single lender, I’m not limited to one set of guidelines. If a deal doesn’t fit one lender, I can often restructure it or move it to another lending partner without the investor having to start the search all over again.
Whether you're buying your first investment property, refinancing to access equity, scaling a rental portfolio, or working through a more complicated scenario, my goal is straightforward: understand the deal, find the right financing strategy, and get it to the closing table.
You bring the investment vision—I bring the creative thinking, lending relationships, and financing options to help make it happen. I’m Charlie Sloan with West Capital Lending, and I connect real estate investors and property owners with a broad range of loan programs and access to wholesale rates all through one dedicated point of contact.
As a nationally recognized mortgage brokerage, West Capital Lending brings an extensive network of lending partners to your financing search. Through those relationships, I offer access to DSCR, Non-QM, Bank Statement, Fix-and-Flip, Multifamily, Commercial, Hard Money, Construction, Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, HELOCs, Home Equity Loans, and more for your investment and personal home financing needs.
I love solving complicated deals: digging into the details, identifying possibilities, and engineering creative financing solutions when the situation calls for it. With a Finance degree from Purdue University, 10 years of lending experience, and a background overseeing billions of dollars in loan volume, I bring a deep understanding of both the numbers and the decisions behind a successful transaction.
Your strategy drives the conversation. Whether you’re acquiring for cash flow, renovating for resale, building from the ground up, or putting existing equity to work, I take the time to understand your goals and explore financing that supports them. You get a consistent point of contact, an experienced problem solver, and a lending relationship built to grow alongside your portfolio.
Let’s talk about your next real estate idea and the bigger picture behind it.
I help real estate investors finance rental properties with flexible DSCR loan options, including as little as 15% down and programs that allow DSCR ratios below 1.00. I also finance short-term rentals, work with LLC-owned properties, and help investors who don't qualify through traditional income guidelines.
Please note: Manufactured homes are not eligible for my DSCR loan programs.
My approach is simple: understand the property, the numbers, and the investor's long-term plan before recommending a loan. Along with DSCR financing, I offer bank statement, 1099, and asset-based loan options for self-employed borrowers and investors with more complex financial situations.
Whether you're purchasing your first rental or building an existing portfolio, my goal is to make financing clear, responsive, and easier to navigate.

Our loan amount limits are between $50K - $300M. We specialize in Fix & Flip/Hold, Buy & Hold, DSCR, Commercial, New Construction, and more.

Our Promise

We fund the deals banks won't touch: fix and flip, bridge, ground-up construction, and DSCR rental loans, nationwide. Send the address, purchase price, rehab budget, and ARV, and you get a real answer instead of a maybe.
WHAT WE FUND
Fix & Flip / Rehab: purchase plus rehab on one loan, short-term, built for investors who need to close fast and get to work.
Bridge & Transactional: grab the deal now, refinance or sell later.
New Construction: ground-up financing for spec builds and infill lots.
DSCR Rental Loans: qualifies on the property's rent, not your W2 or tax returns. 1-4 units and small multifamily. The workhorse for BRRRR refis and portfolio scaling.
Non-QM / Bank Statement: for self-employed borrowers that conventional underwriting keeps killing.
Conventional & Government: when it is genuinely the cheaper answer, we will tell you.
WHO WE WORK WITH
First-time flippers who need someone to actually walk them through draws and timelines.
Experienced operators scaling past the point where conventional financing stops working.
Wholesalers who need a lender their end buyers will actually close with, and proof of funds letters that hold up.
HOW WE WORK
No tax returns and no DTI on our investor products. Underwriting looks at the deal, not your day job.
You get a straight answer on structure. If the numbers do not work, we tell you why and what would make them work.
We do not compete on being the cheapest quote on the internet. We compete on getting complicated deals closed.

How do I check a lender is licensed in California?
