Investment Property Loans

Build wealth through Portland real estate — we handle the unique qualification requirements.

Overview

Investment property loans finance properties you won't live in — rentals, flips, or multi-unit buildings. They come with different rules than primary residence loans: higher down payments, higher rates, and stricter qualification. But Portland's rental market makes investment properties a strong wealth-building strategy when financed correctly. We work with investors at every level, from first-time landlords buying a duplex to experienced investors scaling their portfolio.

Who It's For

First-time rental property buyers
Experienced investors scaling their portfolio
House flippers needing purchase + rehab financing
Buyers of multi-unit properties (2-4 units)

How It Works

01

Strategy Session

We discuss your investment goals, target returns, and portfolio strategy. First property or tenth — the approach is different.

02

Product Matching

Conventional, DSCR, portfolio — we match the right loan product to your investment strategy.

03

Analysis & Approval

We underwrite the deal, analyze cash flow projections, and secure approval.

04

Close & Cash Flow

You close, place tenants, and start building wealth.

Requirements

Down Payment15-25% depending on property type
Credit Score680+ for best rates
Reserves6 months of payments per property
DSCR OptionQualify on rental income, not personal income
ExperienceSome programs require prior landlord experience

These are general guidelines, not a quote or commitment to lend. Actual terms depend on credit approval, income, and underwriting — not all applicants will qualify, and programs and requirements are subject to change without notice. Through Movement Mortgage we have access to additional programs with different requirements. Contact David & Bri for options specific to your situation.

FAQ

3 questions

How much do I need to put down on an investment property?

+

Typically 15% for a single-family rental and 20-25% for multi-unit or DSCR loans. House hacking (living in one unit of a multi-unit) lets you use primary residence down payments as low as 3.5% (FHA).

What is a DSCR loan?

+

A Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan qualifies you based on the property's rental income rather than your personal income. If the rent covers 1.0-1.25x the mortgage payment, you can qualify regardless of your W2 income. Great for self-employed investors or those with multiple properties.

Can I use rental income to qualify?

+

Yes. On conventional loans, we can use 75% of documented rental income. On DSCR loans, the property's income is the primary qualification factor.
