The Ultimate Guide to Real Estate Investment Loans: DSCR, Bridge, Fix & Flip, and Ground-Up Explained

In today’s market, real estate investors need more than just capital—they need the right loan for the right deal. At QuickLend Capital, we offer private direct lending solutions tailored to investment strategies across every stage of the project lifecycle.

Whether you're closing on a rental property in Brooklyn, rehabbing a duplex in Greenville, SC, or building new construction in Savannah, GA, the key to success starts with choosing the right loan product.

DSCR Loans: Cash Flow-Based Financing for Long-Term Holds

DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans are built for rental property investors. These loans are based on the property’s cash flow, not your personal income—making them ideal for:

  • Turnkey single-family and small multifamily rentals

  • Short-term rentals (Airbnb/VRBO)

  • Portfolio investors looking to scale

  • Real estate operators in Charlotte, NC, Columbia, SC, and Nashville, TN

Key features:

  • 30-year fixed or interest-only options

  • No income verification

  • Based on property performance (DSCR ≥ 1.0)

  • Close in 10–14 days

Fix and Flip Loans: Speed and Leverage for Value-Add Projects

Need to acquire, renovate, and sell quickly? Fix and flip loans offer high-leverage, short-term financing for value-add opportunities.

Used by investors in Brooklyn brownstones, Texas suburbs, and everywhere in between, these loans provide:

  • Up to 90% purchase / 100% rehab

  • Interest-only terms

  • Fast closings in 7–10 days

  • Designed for distressed or under-market deals

Bridge Loans: Transitional Capital for Creative Deals

When a property isn’t quite rent-ready—or you need time to refinance or stabilize—bridge loans can fill the gap.

These short-term loans work well for:

  • Properties mid-renovation

  • Assets in lease-up phase

  • Quick-close acquisitions with exit plans

Investors in Ashburn, VA, Raleigh, NC, and Savannah, GA are increasingly using bridge loans to stay competitive in tight markets.

Ground-Up Construction Loans: Build It, Then Cash Flow It

From urban infill to suburban build-to-rent, ground-up construction loans are ideal for developers and builders starting from scratch.

We fund:

  • Single-family spec homes

  • Build-to-rent portfolios

  • Duplexes and small multifamily

  • Projects in high-growth markets across the Southeast and Texas

Loan highlights:

  • Funds land + construction

  • Interest-only during build

  • Draws based on progress

  • Exit via DSCR refi or sale
