Frequently asked

It depends on the loan. VA and USDA can be 0% down, FHA as low as 3.5%, and many first-time programs pair with OHFA down payment assistance. We'll show you which you qualify for.

FHA loans can go as low as 580 (sometimes 500 with more down), while conventional typically wants 620+. DSCR investor loans focus on the property's income, so personal credit requirements are more flexible.

A Debt Service Coverage Ratio loan qualifies you on the rental income of the property rather than your personal W-2 income — popular with real estate investors buying Cleveland rentals.

We're an independent comparison and matching service — not a lender or broker. It's free to use; we're paid by the lenders we connect you with, which never changes your rate.
