Opening an LLC is generally pretty easy and inexpensive. I would probably just go ahead and do it now.

Hi Kim. I own a DSCR lending company, Level Up Capital. There are advantages to doing the loan to your LLC. One is the loan goes to the LLC and you're the guarantor. This does help provide barriers and negative impacts to your personal DTI ratios. The underwriting process is also more streamlined. We don't require tax returns, pay stubs, or w2s/1099s. That said the rates are generally a bit higher. You'll get a better rate and terms in your personal name. Happy to schedule a call to further discuss. Thanks!
