What’s your financing goal?

Pick one and we’ll match you with investor-friendly lenders who do that kind of deal. Free, and no credit pull.

Financing an investment property is not the same as buying a home

Conventional lenders underwrite you. Investor lenders underwrite the deal. That difference decides which loan you can get, how fast it funds and what it costs.

  • DSCR loans qualify on the property’s rental income rather than your salary.

  • Hard money is short-term and asset-backed, funded in days rather than weeks.

  • Fix-and-flip loans combine purchase and rehab in one facility.

  • Portfolio loans stay with the lender instead of being sold on, so terms can bend to an investor’s situation.

Work with a lender who specializes in your strategy

  • Long-term rental

    Conventional, DSCR, portfolio. Qualifying on rental income rather than salary is what lets investors scale past the point a conventional lender stops.

  • Fix & flip

    Bridge, construction, hard money. Speed and rehab draws matter more than rate on a deal measured in months.

  • New build or renovation

    Bridge, construction, HELOC. Funds released in stages as the work is signed off.

Investment property financing questions

What makes a lender investor-friendly?

They lend on investment properties, with products like DSCR, hard money, fix-and-flip, bridge and portfolio loans. Every lender profile shows the loan types they make, the markets they serve and reviews from BiggerPockets members, so you can see who fits your deal before you talk to anyone.

How does Lender Finder match me with lenders?

Tell us what you're financing, where, your budget and an estimated credit range, and we match you with lenders who make that kind of loan in your market. You see your matches and choose who gets your intro, and those lenders follow up with you directly.

What does it cost, and will it affect my credit?

Lender Finder is free for investors, there's no credit pull, and you're under no obligation to work with any lender you're matched with.

What if there are no lenders in my market yet?

If there are no lenders in your market, we’ll connect you with our Concierge Team. The Team will work with you to find a suitable match in your market.

Which kind of lender fits my deal?

Match the lender to the deal: hard money for flips and fast closes, DSCR for rentals you plan to hold, conventional for your first few properties, and a portfolio lender when a deal falls outside standard rules. Conventional loans typically offer the lowest rates available to investors, but Fannie Mae caps borrowers at 10 financed properties (including their primary residence). Hard money costs more but can often close in about 5 to 14 days. Pick your goal in step 1 and we'll match you with lenders who make that loan.

How do I check a lender is legitimate?

Every featured lender in BiggerPockets’ Lender Finder is reviewed for an active license and reputation before they can join. Before you commit, it’s still smart to read reviews and check NMLS to confirm their license is active (nmlsconsumeraccess.org). Some private and hard money lenders don’t need one, so ask those for a track record instead. Watch for red flags like big upfront fees, guaranteed approval, pressure to move fast, or requests to wire money anywhere but a title company or closing attorney.
