Commercial Lending Specialist

Debt Service Coverage Ratio, or DSCR, compares a property's income to its debt payments. Most of our commercial programs qualify the loan on the property's cash flow, not your personal W-2. Adjust the sliders above and see how it moves — then submit your real numbers and a specialist will confirm what you actually qualify for.

Straight answers

Commercial CRE questions

Debt Service Coverage Ratio compares a property's income to its debt payments. Most of our commercial programs qualify the loan on DSCR — not your personal W-2. Lenders generally want to see it at or above 1.25x, though the exact minimum depends on the program and the deal.

Multi-family, mixed-use, office, retail, industrial, warehouse, and hospitality — across our long-term, bridge, construction, fix & flip, and DSCR programs.

No. Submit your deal above and a commercial lending specialist reviews it — free, no application, no credit pull.

Yes — our commercial application supports 1031 exchange coordination as part of your funding request, including timeline and identification requirements.

The full commercial loan application is a member benefit. Submitting a deal for review here isn't — chat with Sgt. Savings first, join when you're ready to move forward.

SBA loans are generally for owner-occupied or business-operations financing. Our CRE programs are built for investment and income-producing property, where the property's own cash flow — not just the business — qualifies the deal.
