@John Jacobs Yes, your typical DSCR loan on a 1-4 unit property will be "full recourse". They'll allow LLC vesting and the use of LLC as borrower but will still require a guarantee from a warm body guarantor who owns at least 20% of the entity and use that persons credit score (mid FICO) to determine pricing and qualification. However, these loans typically do NOT report to your personal credit even when you're the guarantor.

    @John Jacobs

    Someone will need to give a personal guarantee.(At least one LLC member) This will come with a credit pull as well. We have helped many investors in the Indy market, I would be happy to take a call if you would like someone to explain how these loans work in more detail.

    @John Jacobs yes most DSCR Lenders require at least one member of the LLC to be the personal guarantor. However you can structure them if you have Limited Partners (LPs) that just provide capital so that those LPs do not need to have their credit pulled or sign a personal guarantee.

    Quote from @John Jacobs:

    Do DSCR Lenders lending to a LLC typically require a Personal Guarantee from the Member(s) of the LLC?


    Yes, most DSCR lenders will require a personal guarantee. There are a few that are non-recourse up to 1.5 mil.
