Melinda Eilts What Matters More to You—Rate or Flexibility?
8 January 2026 | 1 reply
Especially when dealing w/ a lender, certainty of execution and program flexibility matters the most in my opinion.If you've ever waited weeks to hear "this won't work" on a DSCR deal, you know the cost of misalignment.When you start closing at volume and are trying to scale your portfolio: predictability, early clarity, and execution matters over everything else.Working with a lender who may be slightly higher on rate on edge case scenarios, but has predictable execution and a quick closing timeline will always outperform the lender who comes in a little cheaper but has a nightmare closing process.If you ever want to discuss deal metrics, always happy to help!
