Does Grafton Funding offer DSCR loans for rental properties?

Yes — DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans are our most popular product. We lend on single-family rentals, 2–4 unit properties, short-term rentals (like Airbnb and VRBO), and small multifamily up to 10 units. We qualify the property on its rental income rather than your personal income or tax returns. Minimum DSCR is typically 1.0x, and we lend in TX, FL, GA, NC, SC, and other states.

Does Grafton Funding do fix and flip loans or bridge loans?

Yes. We provide fix and flip loans and bridge loans for non-owner occupied investment properties. Our programs cover the purchase price plus rehab costs, with fast closings. Loan terms are short-term (typically 12–18 months) and are designed around the investor's exit strategy — either sale or refinance.

Can I get a DSCR loan for an Airbnb or short-term rental property?

Yes — we specialize in short-term rental (STR) financing. We use either the property's actual Airbnb or VRBO income history or a market-rate STR income estimate to qualify the loan. You don't need W-2s or tax returns.

Does Grafton Funding offer new construction loans for investment properties?

Yes. We offer new construction loans for non-owner occupied residential investment properties, including spec builds, ground-up construction, and lot + build projects. These are short-term loans that fund in draws as construction progresses.

Does Grafton Funding lend in North Carolina?

Yes — we actively lend in North Carolina, including the Charlotte metro, the Triangle (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill), Wilmington, and Asheville. We offer DSCR rental loans, fix and flip loans, and new construction financing for NC investment properties. Local NC line: (910) 218-1286.

Can I qualify for a loan without showing tax returns or personal income?

Yes — our DSCR loans are underwritten based on the property's rental income, not your personal income or tax returns. This makes them ideal for self-employed investors and business owners. We do require a credit check and down payment, but there's no traditional income verification.

What credit score do I need to get a loan from Grafton Funding?

For most DSCR rental loan programs, we generally look for a minimum credit score in the 660–680 range, though this can vary by program and loan-to-value. Fix and flip loans may have different requirements depending on experience and deal strength.

How much do I need to put down for a DSCR loan?

For DSCR rental loans, we typically lend up to 75–80% loan-to-value (LTV), meaning you'd need 20–25% as a down payment. The exact LTV depends on the property type, DSCR ratio, and your credit profile. We lend exclusively on non-owner occupied investment real estate.

How quickly can Grafton Funding close a loan?

Many of our transactions close in 2–4 weeks depending on the loan type, property, and how quickly documentation is provided. We prioritize responsive communication and efficient underwriting for investors who need to move fast on deals.

Does Grafton Funding work with first-time real estate investors?

Yes — we work with both new and experienced investors. For DSCR rental loans, first-time investors are welcome as long as the property cash flows and the borrower meets our credit and down payment requirements. For fix and flip loans, some experience is preferred but not always required.
